Table 1. Comparison of injury mechanisms of tibia fractures between males and females, players <13 years old and ≥ 13 years old, and location of bone (proximal, shaft, and distal).

Males and females were found to have an insignificant association with mechanism of injury (p-value = 0.95). Players <13 years of age and ≥ 13 years of age were found to have an insignificant association with mechanism of injury (p-value = 0.10). Shaft tibia fractures were significantly more likely to occur due to contact mechanisms, while proximal and distal fractures were more likely to be due to non-contact mechanisms (p-value =0.0031).
