  • Title: Comminuted epiphyseal fracture of the distal tibia. A case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Torg JS, Ruggiero RA.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1975; (110):215-7. PubMed ID: 1157385.
    Abstract:
    Classification of epiphyseal injuries include only simple fractures and few cases of comminuted fracture of the distal tibial epiphysis, epiphyseal plate and adjacent metaphysis. On the basis of a review of the literature, as well as our own experience, it appears that that fracture is unstable and requires open reduction and internal fixation.
