Triplane fracture of the proximal end of the tibia: A rare lesion (case study and literature review)

Abstract

We here report the case of a 16-year old patient with triplane fracture of the proximal end of the tibia due to a sporting accident occurred during a cycling race. CT scan (CT) was performed to assess the fracture with a high level of accuracy. After identification of all fragments requiring osteosynthesis, closed reduction was performed with fixation of fracture fragments using cannulated screws. At the last follow-up visit, radiological and functional results were excellent.
