Posteromedial tibial plateau avulsion fracture caused by semimembranosus muscle is not easy to detect by X-ray. The literature regarding this issue is poor, also mechanism is extensively disputable. This lesion was often connected to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and medial meniscal horn lesion. In this work, we described a posteromedial tibial plateau avulsion fracture at the semimembranosus insertion. In particular, we referred to the surgical treatment of those transversal osteochondral fractures.

Abstract
Posteromedial tibial plateau avulsion fracture caused by semimembranosus muscle is not easy to detect by X-ray. The literature regarding this issue is poor, also mechanism is extensively disputable. This lesion was often connected to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and medial meniscal horn lesion. In this work, we described a posteromedial tibial plateau avulsion fracture at the semimembranosus insertion. In particular, we referred to the surgical treatment of those transversal osteochondral fractures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
