[Fibular ligament rupture during growth].

    Summary

    Fibular ligament ruptures in children often involve bone and cartilage damage, unlike adult injuries. Surgical repair with casting offers stable healing and good function for pediatric fibular ligament injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics and Sports Medicine
    • Pediatric Traumatology

    Context:

    • Injuries to the fibular ligaments in skeletally immature individuals present unique challenges compared to adults.
    • Prevalence of chondral, osseous, and periosteal loosening is significant in pediatric patients up to age 14.
    • School accidents and sports, particularly soccer, are primary causes of these injuries in children.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the characteristics of fibular ligament ruptures in patients under 16 years of age.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of operative treatment for ligamentous instability in pediatric fibular ligament injuries.
    • To compare outcomes of surgical versus conservative management for these injuries.

    Summary:

    • Fibular ligament ruptures in children (under 16) frequently involve associated chondral, osseous, and periosteal injuries, with an average age for osseous/chondral lesions being lower than periosteal or inter-ligament ruptures.
    • Manual examination with roentgenoscopy is effective for diagnosing fresh injuries.
    • Operative treatment followed by 6 weeks of plaster immobilization resulted in stable healing, good functional outcomes, and minimal complications, supporting its indication in cases of evident instability.

    Impact:

    • This study validates surgical intervention as the preferred treatment for significant fibular ligament instability in pediatric patients.
    • Conservative management is reserved for exceptional cases or patient refusal due to high activity levels in this age group.
    • The findings provide evidence-based guidance for managing pediatric fibular ligament injuries, optimizing functional recovery and minimizing long-term complications.
