Fractures of the upper tibial epiphysis are rare. We report on three cases classified according to the Salter and Harris method. Case one, a Type III injury, was associated with a neurovascular lesion. Case two, a Type II injury, was associated with rupture of the medial collateral ligament of the knee, which was treated by internal fixation of the fracture and repair of the ligament. Case three was an unusual fracture, which has not previously been reported in the literature, a Type II injury with an accompanying fracture of the tibial tubercle.
