Valgus deformity after proximal tibial fractures in children.
Late valgus deformity after simple fracture of the proximal tibial metaphysis in children, despite adequate initial alignment, was first described by Cozen (1953). It has been suggested in the “check rein” theory that infolding of the periosteum and the pes anserinus at the fracture site may alter the forces on the proximal tibia and lead to deformity. If this is so, then operative removal of t...
متن کاملTrampoline fracture of the proximal tibial metaphysis in children may not progress into valgus: a report of seven cases and a brief review.
BACKGROUND Fracture of the proximal tibial metaphysis in children is a rare injury but notorious for carrying the risk of subsequent valgus deformity of the tibia. HYPOTHESIS Trampoline-caused fracture of the proximal tibial metaphysis in children may not progress into valgus. MATERIALS AND METHODS We followed up six children who collectively sustained seven fractures of the proximal tibial...
متن کاملAvulsion fracture of the proximal tibial epiphysis.
Fractures of the tibia through the proximal epiphysis are rare. This injury usually results from severe direct or indirect force about the knee, and has not been described as resulting from a patellar tendon avulsion injury. Four patients presented with five avulsion fractures of the proximal tibial epiphysis. All were older adolescent males who had been engaged in jumping sports when the injur...
متن کاملTibial Tuberosity Avulsion Fracture and Open Proximal Tibial Fracture in an Adult
A displaced tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture associated with an open extra-articular proximal tibial diaphyseal fracture is an uncommon fracture pattern. This case report describes the successful management of such a fracture pattern in a 45-year old male using an open reduction and lag screw fixation of the tuberosity with a minimally invasive reduction and plate fixation of the proximal ti...
متن کاملCalcaneo-valgus deformity.
A discussion of the essential deformity in calcaneo-valgus feet develops a theme originally put forward in 1961 on the relapsed club foot (Evans 1961). Whereas in the normal foot the medial and lateral columns are about equal in length, in talipes equino-varus the lateral column is longer and in calcaneo-valgus shorter than the medial column. The suggestion is that in the treatment of both defo...
