      Abstract

      A case of anterior cruciate ligament disruption in a patient with an avulsion fracture of the lateral proximal tibia is presented. The “Segond” fracture is an unusual fracture that is important to recognize because it is often associated with anterior cruciate ligament disruption and anterolateral instability. These injuries are usually best treated by early surgical repair.
