    Very few cases of simultaneous occurrence of tibial tuberosity fracture with lower pole patella and distal patellar tendon rupture type injuries have been reported in adolescent athletic age group, but its occurrence in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)* has not been reported to the best of our knowledge in a literature search of last 5 years in the English Language. The mechanism of avulsion injury after low-velocity trauma and the underlying pathology is a unique combination in our patient and a note on updates in general management of osteogenesis imperfecta is discussed.
