Abstract:
The goal of this study was to compare open reduction versus percutaneous fixation of adolescent ankle fractures with regards to the incidence of growth disturbance. We performed a retrospective cohort analysis of adolescent patients with triplane or Tillaux fractures. There was an even distribution of triplane fractures and mean initial displacement between cohorts. Analysis of follow-up radiographs revealed no instances of growth disturbance in the percutaneous fixation group and six in the open reduction group (P=0.29). Growth disturbance does not pose a significant concern when selecting a surgical approach. Owing to the rarity of these fractures this study was underpowered.

Fixation and Sectioning
The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed in a drop of liquid on the slide. A liquid specimen can be directly deposited on the slide using a dropper. Solid specimens, such as skin scraping, can be placed on the slide before adding a drop of liquid to prepare the wet mount. Sometimes the liquid is simply water, but stains are often added...
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...
