Abstract

PAEDIATRIC DIAPHYSEAL FRACTURES OF TIBIA AND FIBULA
Diaphyseal fractures of tibia and fibula are common in children and adolescents. Radiographic evaluation should be
accompanied by meticulous neurovascular status monitoring. Closed reduction and casting are still a good option in
undisplaced fractures affecting young children, although flexible intramedullary nailing has become increasingly
popular for fractures that require surgical fixation.
