Abstract

Proximal tibial epiphysiolysis (PTE) can have debilitating consequences for young athletes. The mechanism and predisposing factors for this lesion have yet to be determined. To find a common denominator and a biomechanical explanation for PTE, we were using a retrospective analysis of 15 cases in combination with a systematic review of literature.
