The juvenile "Tillaux" fracture occurs in a specific age group and may be misinterpreted as a simple sprain if proper examination is not performed. Anatomic reduction is necessary to prevent long term damage to the ankle joint. Computed tomography is of help in the evaluation of adequacy of reduction.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the rate at which the anterolateral tibial plafond is affected in comminuted suprasyndesmotic ankle fractures (AO/OTA 44C2) and to assess how its involvement affects clinical outcomes.
Methods: Design: Retrospective review.
Setting: Level 1 Trauma Center.

Background: Tillaux-Chaput fractures (TCFs) consist of fractures of the anterolateral distal tibia. They rarely occur in isolation in adults. When TCFs are missed, there is a risk of chronic pain, instability, and ankle osteoarthritis.

Article Synopsis
- Distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injuries commonly accompany ankle fractures in adults, often leading to specific avulsions named Tillaux, Wagstaffe, and Volkmann, with one being undefined.
- A study analyzed imaging data from 1,770 ankle fracture patients to assess the incidence of these avulsion fractures over a 12-year period.
- Results showed a total avulsion incidence of 26.3%, with the highest frequency being Volkmann fractures at 19.9%, followed by Tillaux (5.3%) and Wagstaffe (3.3%), while fibular avulsion of the PITFL was reported for the first time at 0.5%.
Adult Tillaux-Chaput tubercle fracture of the ankle with rupture of the peroneus tertius muscle: a case report.

Article Synopsis
- Tillaux-Chaput tubercle fractures are uncommon in adults and typically occur in adolescents, often linked to growth plate separation and can go undiagnosed, impacting ankle function.
- A case was reported of an adult with a right ankle injury from a traffic accident, where initial exams missed a rupture of the peroneus tertius muscle, leading to restricted foot movement.
- Surgical repair of the muscle was performed after proper diagnosis and, through this case, the report aims to enhance awareness and improve treatment outcomes for similar injuries in adults.
