  • Title: [Traumatic injuries of the epiphyseal plate in the lower extremity of the tibia].
    Author: Mouterde P, Rigault P, Padovani JP, Finidori G.
    Journal: Chir Pediatr; 1979; 20(2):115-23. PubMed ID: 487493.
    Abstract:
    In a series of 110 fractures of the ankle in children the authors have observed 27 cases of "at risque" lesions: Mac Farland types of fractures and crush injuries. Epiphysiodesis occurs in all cases of crush injuries and in 25% of fracture-separation of the tibial malleolus. In order to prevent this complication the only procedure is to obtain an anatomical reduction. Desepiphysiodesis is uncommunly possible (2 cases) and rarely effective. In case of varus deformity an osteotomy must be performed and repeated if the child is still young.
