Fractures of the lateral part of the distal tibial epiphysis (Tillaux or Kleiger fracture).
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.
