title: Fractures of the lateral part of the distal tibial epiphysis (Tillaux or Kleiger fracture).
abstract: Six cases of fracture of the lateral part of the distal tibial epiphysis are presented. Five were operated on and 1 was treated with a plaster cast only. The results were excellent, and we advocate operative treatment of this fracture if more than minimal dislocation exists.
