title: [Epiphyseal fractures of the distal tibia. Treatment and results].
abstract: Epiphyseal fractures of the distal end of the tibia generally require operative treatment. A conservative treatment can be recommended only in minimally displaced fractures with undisturbed ankle joint congruity. Among 48 patients treated (40 operatively, 8 conservatively) 6 developed angular deformities, 3 of which required a corrective osteotomy. After the initial treatment follow-up is necessary until bone growth is complete.
