A 9 year old with an avulsion fracture at the ACL insertion and a Salter Harris type III lateral tibial fracute. Tibial avulsion fractures are more common that ACL tears in under 12's. The anterior intercondylar eminence fracture is analogous to an injury to the ACL in the skeletally mature individual.
