Abstract
- Anterior cruciate ligament rupture is rare in children and adolescents, and unlike in adults, it occurs as an avulsion fracture at the tibial attachment rather than a mid-substance tear. Proximal avulsion fractures are extremely rare, and bone fragments may not be observed on radiographs in children, resulting in a delayed diagnosis. This paper reports a case of avulsion fracture of femoral attachment of anterior cruciate ligament with delayed diagnosis in a seven-year-old girl.
