Extra-articular Triplane Fracture of Distal Tibial Physis(Report of A Case)
|
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
We describe an extra-articular triplane fracture of distal tibia in a twelve-year-old boy. This variant of the triplane fracture has been largely ignored in the literature. The clinical significance of recognizing this fracture is that, although
it
constitutes an epiphyseal fracture, it remains extra-rticular.
We treated this case by open reduction and internal fixation of both distal tibia and fibular tibia and fibula. However, unlike the standard triplane fracture that exits through the tibiotalar joint, this variant may be treated acceptably with
less
than
an anatomical reduction, therefore avoiding the need for surgical management.
