Abstract
The physeal fractures are very common in children and the main goal is to avoid any complications. It is clear that the development of complications after distal tibial fractures is due to multiple contributing factors like skeletal maturity, severity of injury, fracture type, degree of comminution and displacement aswell as adequacy of reduction. A premature physeal closure is the most common complication. The fibula fracture can play an important role in initial displacement. The presence of an intact fibula and a good anatomical reduction have a significant positive influence on fracture outcome.
