Triplane Fracture of the Proximal Tibia: A Case Report and Literature Review

BACKGROUND: The triplane fracture, a unique transitional physeal injury, is classically described in the distal tibia. A small number of additional anatomic locations are documented in the orthopaedic literature. METHODS: Available literature surrounding triplane fractures was reviewed. We describe...

description BACKGROUND: The triplane fracture, a unique transitional physeal injury, is classically described in the distal tibia. A small number of additional anatomic locations are documented in the orthopaedic literature. METHODS: Available literature surrounding triplane fractures was reviewed. We describe a rare case of a proximal tibial triplane fracture in a thirteen-year-old girl, suffered during a skiing accident. RESULTS: Using arthroscopically assisted percutaneous reduction techniques an anatomic reduction was achieved. CONCLUSION: We outline the surgical and postoperative techniques for management of this unique injury.
