title: Triplane fractures of the distal tibia.
abstract: Triplane fractures of the distal tibia are relatively rare and usually occur during adolescence. A classification of the various types of triplane fractures, based on a survey of the literature and the material in this study, is presented. The authors' treatment principles are discussed and the results of a consecutive group of 20 patients, including long-term follow-up (median 6 1/12 years) are described.
