A graphical representation of a Proximal Screw Technique (PST) screw and a Distal Cortical Fixation (DCF) screw for treating a Salter–Harris II tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture. The PST screw captures two cortices of the proximal fragment and none of the distal fragment and is, therefore, a “bi-cortical screw”. The DCF screw captures each fragment at its cortex and is, therefore, a “bi-cortical fracture fixation”. Adapted from “Knee (lateral, bent, silhouette)”, by BioRender.com (2024).
