Tibia eminence, also referred to as a tibial spine fracture, occurs as a result of stress on the anterior cruciate ligament that results in an avulsion fracture at the anterior cruciate ligament's proximal tibia footprint. These avulsion injuries have a high association of meniscal entrapment of the anterior portion of the meniscus underneath the angulated or displaced tibial spine fracture fragment. Compartment syndrome is associated with tibial tubercle fractures but not tibial spine fractures. Patellar dislocation, peroneal nerve palsy, and proximal tibial growth arrest are not associated with this fracture.
