Background: This study was performed to investigate leg length discrepancy (LLD), overgrowth, and associated risk factors after pediatric tibial shaft fractures.
Materials And Methods: This study included 103 patients younger than 14 years of age (mean age 7.1 years; 75 boys, 28 girls) with unilateral tibial shaft fracture and a minimum follow-up of 24 months.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated growth arrest incidence, including leg length discrepancy (LLD) and ankle joint deformities, after distal tibia physeal fractures in children and adolescents.
- The analysis included 78 patients with an average age of 11.4 years, focusing on preoperative scans, and categorized patients into two groups based on LLD and angular differences.
- Findings revealed a 12.8% growth arrest incidence, with initial fracture displacement identified as the only significant risk factor, indicating that severe displacement elevates the risk of growth complications.
