✅ Segond Fracture

1️⃣ Segond Fracture and Associated Injuries

  • Associated Findings: Segond fractures are linked to ACL tears, MCL tears, medial meniscus tears, and posterolateral corner injuries.
  • Indicator of ALRI: Recognized as a marker for anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI) and a predictor of severe ligamentous injury, particularly to the ACL.

 

2️⃣ ALL Injuries and Segond Fractures

  • Prevalence in ACL Injuries: ALL injuries occur in about 40% of ACL injuries, with Segond fractures being a subset.
  • Fracture Characteristics: The fracture fragment is thin, ovoid, vertically oriented, and situated anterolaterally along the lateral tibial plateau behind Gerdy’s tubercle.

 

3️⃣ Involvement of ITB and ALL

  • Attachment to Fracture: In 94% of cases, the posterior fibers of the ITB and the lateral capsule (ALL) attach to the Segond fracture.
  • Tibial Insertion of ALL:  The tibial insertion of the ALL is consistently located between the fibular head and Gerdy’s tubercle and positioned between 4.0 and 7.0 mm below the tibial plateau.
