abstract="PURPOSE: We describe an unusual mechanism of action for a proximal tibial fracture in an adolescent. CASE SUMMARY: The patient injured his leg while jumping off a spring diving board and sustained a proximal tibial physeal fracture. DISCUSSION: The majority of these fractures occur when an athlete jumps up from a stationery platform, most commonly in basketball. RELEVANCE: This article describes an unreported cause of a proximal physeal fracture secondary to an athlete jumping off a spring diving board.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
