There is a high incidence of compartment syndrome seen in type III tibial tubercle fractures. Fasciotomy should be considered at the time of initial repair. Type III tibial tubercle fractures extending through the joint are often associated with meniscal injuries, which must be repaired. Delayed complications included recurvatum and refracture. Its association with Osgood-Schlatter's disease has not been proven. This is a fracture that occurs in later adolescence, so significant limb-length discrepencies are unusual after this fracture.
