Summary

Simultaneous and bilateral epiphysial fracture of the proximal tibia is an extremely rare injury, with only 23 cases reported in the literature. In this paper, we present a 15-year-old adolescent with a simultaneous and bilateral epiphysial fracture of the proximal tibia in sport context (trampoline jump). He underwentsurgical repair with bilateral closed reduction and internal fixation, followed by outpatient rehabilitation programme during 4 months. There was a good functional outcome, without limitation in activities of daily living and with resumption of amateur sports activity. Since there are no guidelines described for this pathology, the authors suggest a rehabilitation protocol for bilateral epiphysial fractures of the proximal tibia that underwent surgical treatment previously and in which there were no complications in the acute phase.
