AP radiograph shows cortical buckling & interruption at the proximal tibia. This is a classic "trampoline fracture" that occurs when a larger child or adult is jumping near a smaller child. As the adult bounces, the upward recoil force of the mat (which is driving the adult upward) impacts the foot of the landing child, causing a transverse fracture of the proximal tibia. #FridayQuizDay

AP (image 1) and lateral (image 2) radiographs of the knee in a child with sudden pain after jumping on the trampoline with a parent show a nondisplaced transverse fracture of the proximal tibia. This type of fracture is the most common fracture associated with trampolines. It is caused by tandem jumping. When a heavier jumper bounces up, the trampoline recoils. If the smaller child is coming down at the time when the trampoline recoils, the force of the recoil causes considerable axial loading on the tibia and causes a fracture. This mechanism is highlighted in a classic article by Boyer, et al. #MSKMonday #MusculoskeletalMonday](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/04ca7669-dd57-43bf-95a9-5bf921606aa1)



AP and lateral radiographs of the tibia and fibula show an oblique fracture of the distal tibia (arrow) and a transverse fracture of the proximal fibula. This fracture pattern is termed a Maisonneuve fracture, which occurs with pronation and external rotation. It represents a proximal fibular fracture associated with a rupture of the tibiofibular syndesmosis and a fracture of the distal tibia.](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/25282a23-0d5c-4616-8cf5-56ed5ae96170)



Lateral and AP radiographs of the tibia in a 2-year-old child after a fall show a buckle deformity (arrow) of the proximal tibial metaphysis anteriorly. This is a common location for tibial fractures in young children, though less frequent than the classic spiral toddler’s fracture of the distal tibia. This buckled contour should be recognized as distinct from the normal smooth concavity of the anterior proximal tibia that is due to unossified tibial tubercle cartilage. #MSKMonday](https://app.figure1.com/case-detail/29d0567f-df79-40ad-be6b-7a3fcea87512)
