# Segond Fracture: From X-ray to Surgical Treatment

## TL;DR

A Segond fracture is a type of tibial plateau fracture often linked to ACL injuries, requiring X-ray, CT, and MRI for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

## Contribution

The paper presents a case study with imaging and treatment outcomes for a patient with a Segond fracture.

## Key findings

- Segond fractures are commonly associated with ACL ruptures and other knee injuries.
- X-ray, CT, and MRI are essential for diagnosing the fracture and related injuries.
- A 59-year-old woman's case illustrates the diagnostic and treatment process for a Segond fracture.

## Abstract

Segond fracture is an avulsion fracture of the lateral side of the tibial plateau. In most cases, this fracture is associated with serious injuries to the knee such as a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This highlights the importance of recognizing and diagnosing such fractures on X-ray images followed by the use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in order to accurately diagnose potential additional injuries of the knee joint. This report shows relevant images as well as the outcome of a 59-year-old woman with a right-sided Segond fracture.
