Abstract EN
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.
