Abstract

The Segond fracture was classically described as an avulsion fracture of the anterolateral capsule of the knee. Recently, some authors have attributed its pathogenesis to the "anterolateral ligament" (ALL). Biomechanical studies that have attempted to reproduce this fracture in vitro have reported conflicting findings. To determine the anatomic characteristics of the Segond fracture on plain radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to compare this location with the location of the ALL described in prior radiographic and anatomic publications, and to determine the fracture's attachments to the soft tissue anterolateral structures of the knee. Case series; Level of evidence, 4. A total of 36 anterior cruciate ligament-injured patients with Segond fractures (33 male, 3 female; mean age, 23.2 ± 8.4 years) were enrolled. MRI scans were reviewed to determine the anatomic characteristics of the Segond fracture, including the following: proximal-distal (PD) length, anterior-posterior (AP) width, medial-lateral (ML) width, PD distance to the lateral tibial plateau, AP distance to the Gerdy tubercle (GT), and AP distance from the GT to the posterior aspect of the fibular head. The attachment of the anterolateral structures to th...Continue Reading
