  • Title: Open reduction and internal fixation in displaced juvenile Tillaux fractures.
    Author: Kaya A, Altay T, Ozturk H, Karapinar L.
    Journal: Injury; 2007 Feb; 38(2):201-5. PubMed ID: 17054954.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Juvenile Tillaux fracture is relatively an uncommon injury for which there appears no established treatment protocol. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten patients with juvenile Tillaux fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation and the results were evaluated by an objective scoring system. RESULTS: At the latest follow-up (32-75 months) mean score was 99.3 (97-100) by the score of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society. Radiographically all fractures had healed in anatomical position. CONCLUSION: Treatment of juvenile Tillaux fractures with 2mm or more displacement by internal fixation without any attempt of closed reduction gives excellent results.
