Abstract

We present a rewiev of orthopaedic literature, our clinical experience, and examples on pediatric ankle fractures. The rules of anatomic physeal and articular surface reduction in intraarticular injuries are emphasised. We present complications, specially ankle axial deformities caused by bony bars and its reasons, specially periosteal interposition or jatrogenic physeal damage by an inapropriate stabilisation.
