Retrospective case series evaluates byte tibial tubercle fractures in Osteogenesis Imperfecta, suggesting effective surgical interventions.

This research aims to evaluate surgical outcomes for tibial tubercle fractures in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).
Conducted a retrospective review of operative tibial tubercle fractures from 2010 to 2022.
Collected demographic information, fracture history, surgical methods, and OI treatment regimens.
Compared OI patient outcomes with non-OI patients undergoing similar surgeries.
All OI patients returned to baseline activities at an average of 5.4 months post-surgery.
Suture anchors were used in 50% of OI fractures compared to 13.7% in non-OI fractures.
Immediate weight bearing was achieved successfully in 75% of OI patients.

Dure et al. (2026) studied this question.
