Pathological Distal Tibial and Fibular Fracture in a Paediatric Patient: A Case Report

Paediatric distal tibial and fibular fractures are seen quite regularly in orthopaedic trauma practice. Most patients are managed conservatively with closed reduction or casting while only a selected few required surgical treatment. Surgical options include plating, percutaneous Kirschner wires, rigid intramedullary nails, and flexible intramedullary nailing. This is dependent upon the patient's age, fracture site, comminution, and concomitant injuries. Here, we present an interesting case of a patient with an unusual lesion seen at the fracture site. This lesion was curetted out during surgery and filled with an injectable synthetic Cerament bone void filler (Bone Support AB, Lund, Sweden), which later formed into bone and allowed the bone to remodel.
