Segond fracture of the proximal tibia
- The Segond fracture is an avulsion fracture involving the proximal tibia immediately distal to the lateral plateau.
- Described by Paul Segond in 1879, in cadaveric experiments
- It is believed to be a cortical avulsion of the tibia at the site of insertion of the middle third of the lateral capsular ligament (LCL).
- It has an association with tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (75%–100% of patients), meniscal tears (66%–75% of patients), damage to the structures of the posterolateral corner of the knee.
