  • Title: [Epiphyseal fractures of the distal tibia. Treatment and results].
    Author: Wicky B, Stauffer UG.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1982 Nov; 53(11):697-703. PubMed ID: 7160254.
    Abstract:
    Epiphyseal fractures of the distal end of the tibia generally require operative treatment. A conservative treatment can be recommended only in minimally displaced fractures with undisturbed ankle joint congruity. Among 48 patients treated (40 operatively, 8 conservatively) 6 developed angular deformities, 3 of which required a corrective osteotomy. After the initial treatment follow-up is necessary until bone growth is complete.
