Triplane Fractures of the Distal Tibial Epiphysis - Contributions of CT Scans to Indication and Planning of Osteosynthesis

Abstract

The triplane fracture of the distal tibial epiphysis is characterised by the fracture line in typical three planes which can, however, differ case by case. The authors use the CT imaging as the perfect examination method to determine the nature of the fracture to plan the osteosynthesis. .
