Abstract: | We report the case of an extraphyseal ankle fracture involving the medial malleolus in a 12-year-old boy with open growth plates. The child was treated non-operatively and made a full and uneventful recovery. The case presented is unique in that a non-direct impact ankle fracture occurred without violating the growth plate. We examine the injury and, more importantly, analyse the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of the condition. The injury has not been published in the orthopaedic literature to date and is an original finding. |
