Tomography in a juvenile Tillaux fracture.
Juvenile Tillaux fractures are Salter-Harris Type III physeal fractures involving the lateral weight-bearing surface of the distal tibia. A recent case demonstrates the usefulness of tomography as an adjunct to routine radiographs as a more accurate means of diagnosing the amount and direction of fracture displacement, a critical factor when treatment decisions are made.
