[Tarsal fractures in childhood].
The treatment of tarsal fractures in children was analysed in a joint research project performed in eight GDR surgical clinics of various size. 63 fractures of the tarsal bones were treated over a seven-years period. Each single bone of the tarsus was analysed separately. For reasons of comparison, however, the results were evaluated of all tarsal fractures in the follow-up in connection with Seyfarth's classification as applied with respect to calcaneal fractures. The findings show that tarsal fractures in children can be thoroughly cured by conservative treatment. Operative treatment is indicated only in few cases.
