Tillaux fractures of the tibia (in adolescents).
The juvenile "Tillaux" fracture occurs in a specific age group and may be misinterpreted as a simple sprain if proper examination is not performed. Anatomic reduction is necessary to prevent long term damage to the ankle joint. Computed tomography is of help in the evaluation of adequacy of reduction.
