Classification of proximal tibial fractures in children

Location: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2686808/

At our institution, 135 pediatric proximal tibia fractures were treated from 1997 to 2005. Fractures were classified into four groups according to the direction of force of injury: valgus, varus, extension, and flexion–avulsion. Each group was subdivided into metaphyseal and physeal type by fracture location and Salter–Harris classification. Also included...
