Comparison of bioabsorbable screw versus metallic screw fixation for tibial tubercle fractures in adolescents: a retrospective cohort study

Abstract Background Displaced tibial tubercle (TT) fractures in adolescents are typically treated with open reduction and internal fixation. While metallic screw (MS) fixation provides strong stability, it often results in a high incidence of postoperative screw head protrusion or irritation, leadin...
