Abstract

Pediatric ankle fractures are the second most common physeal injuries, accounting for almost 40% of all physeal injuries and for 5% of all pediatric fractures [1]. High-energy suprasyndesmotic fractures are associated with hard complications [2]. Although the surgical planning being not based only on the fracture pattern alone, it is mandatory to know the different fracture classifications and its mechanism influence on the treatment.
