Percutaneous reduction and fixation of displaced juvenile Tillaux fractures: a new surgical technique.
Although it is not a very common injury, the juvenile Tillaux fracture is an intraarticular injury, so that accurate reduction is essential to restore the articular surface. Closed percutaneous reduction and internal fixation is a new method of treatment, used when manipulative reduction fails to restore the articular surface.
