Especially dislocated fractures should be conveyed to surgical therapy to avoid excessive bone callus. Timely diagnostics and an efficient and consistent treatment are recommended. Deformities and dislocated avulsions will regularly not remodel spontaneously during further growth. Therefore, it is mandatory to reconstruct the articular surface and the knee extensor complex to avoid future complications such as osteoarthritis or elongation of the knee extensors.
