Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: To demonstrate the effectiveness of the conservative treatment which was introduced to the extraarticular triplane fractures of the distal tibia.
Materials and Methods: We reviewed radiographs and medical records of eight patients with extraarticular triplane fractures of the tibia. Four patients were treated with closed reduction and internal fixation and the others with closed reduction and plaster.
Results: In all patients, the union of fractures was obtained. Although the physes were closed early, there was no angular deformity or leg length discrepancy.
Conclusion: In case of extraarticular triplane fracture, except for open fracture or failure of closed reduction, conservative treatment yield good result.
