title: Triplane fracture of the distal tibial epiphysis: radiographic and CT studies.
abstract: We analyzed six cases of triplane fracture of the ankle and reviewed the literature. A previously undescribed fracture pattern was identified in one patient. CT studies proved to be useful diagnostic tools in the evaluation of triplane fractures when operative reduction was contemplated.
