Injuries involving the epiphyseal plate present special problems in diagnosis and management. The dread complication of serious disturbance of growth is usually predictable and, in certain circumstances, can be prevented. Thus, knowledge of the prognosis for a given injury to the epiphyseal plate in a particular child is of considerable importance to the surgeon, who has the dual responsibility of treating the child and advising the parents. The purpose of this presentation is …

... The divergent epidemiology of ankle physeal fractures in historical and more recent studies probably correlates with paediatric populations' changing activities and lifestyles over the decades. Moreover, the wide range in the prevalence of PPC seen in distal tibial fractures -varying from 1% to 66.7% in the literaturecould be related to differences in sample sizes across epidemiological studies and the variable distributions of fracture patterns as classified using the Salter-Harris and Dias-Tachdjian systems [4,[10][11][12][13][14][15]. Thus, it is relevant to obtain robust epidemiological data on ankle physeal fractures to improve knowledge about their distribution by fracture pattern and age, as well as their actual incidence and the impact of PPC. ...
