Purpose: To evaluate the result of percutaneous fixation with cannulated screws and Ilizarov external fixator in triplane fracture of the distal tibial epiphysis in children.
Materials and Methods: Between May 2004 and December 2007, 14 cases with triplane fractures were treated by percutaneous fixation with cannulated screws and Ilizarov external fixator after underwent CT imaging to assess the fracture pattern, articular disruption and to plan further management. Mean age and follow-up period were 14.1 years old and 15 months respectively.
Results: There were satisfactory results in all 14 cases that had excellent reduction and stable fixation. All cases regained full range of movement within 6 weeks.
Conclusion: We obtained satisfactory result after percutaneous fixation with cannulated screws and Ilizarov external fixator in triplane fractures of the distal tibial epiphysis in children.
