The xray in image shows a comminuted fracture of upper end of tibia. The xray in present picture is anteroposterior view.

Author’s Note:

These fractures are high velocity injuries and an extension to knee joint is very common.

Because of their configuration these kinds of fractures often require surgical treatment.

A cause for concern in these patients is compartment syndrome that might develop due to continued bleed in fracture.
