Plain radiographs revealed displaced tibial tubercle avulsion fractures in both knees. He underwent bilateral open reduction and internal fixation. Fracture healing was completed without complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of a Hispanic pediatric baseball player, adding to the small number of reported cases of bilateral tibial tubercle fractures.
