Abstract:
We have described management in tibia's intercondylar eminentia fractures in children, based on own data and review of the contemporary bibliography. The data contain 16 children from 6 to 14 years of age with all Meyers' and McKeever' fractures types. Type I and II fractures can be treated conservatively. Such factors like fracture's type and child's age must be taken under consideration for an operative treatment most often, but in children below 10 years of age, the conservative one should be considered as well.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
