Tibial Tubercle Avulsion Fractures in Adolescence in Sports Injury about Four Cases Series.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Tibial tubercle avulsion fractures are a rare lesion in adolescence that occurs during sports such as basketball, soccer, and volleyball. They result from a forceful extension of the knee against a fixed leg. Case Report: Case 1: A 14-year-old adolescent who reportedly experienced severe knee pain when he jumped to head a ball during a soccer game. Case 2: A 17-year-old teenager who reportedly experienced severe knee pain on takeoff during a high jump event. Case 3: A 16-year-old who reportedly felt pain during takeoff to catch a basketball. Case 4: A 14-year-old adolescent who reportedly felt pain in his left knee on takeoff from a high jump during a basketball game. All of these patients presented with a defective leg extension on clinical examination. Radiographs showed an avulsion fracture of the anterior tibial tuberosity and treatment was surgical. Discussion: Avulsion fractures of the tibial tuberosity are rare lesions. They occur in adolescents during sports and are usually accompanied by fracture fragment displacement, indicating reduction, and internal fixation surgery by screwing. In the short term, the result is satisfactory. Conclusion: Tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures when managed in their entirety, give better results with a precocious return to sport.
