  • Title: Irreducible fracture-separations of the distal tibial epiphysis.
    Author: Grace DL.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1983 Mar; 65(2):160-2. PubMed ID: 6826621.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of a rare complication of Salter Type II fracture-separations of the distal tibial epiphysis are described. Interposition of the anterior tibial neurovascular bundle between the displaced epiphysis and the lower tibia prevented reduction and, in two patients, the blood supply to the foot was compromised. Open reduction and internal fixation resulted in a satisfactory outcome in each case.
