Abstrakt: Foot fractures account for 5%-8% of paediatric fractures (Kay and Tang 2001). The metatarsals and phalanges are the most common site for injury (Green and Swiantkowsk 1998). Tarsal bones are largely cartilaginous in the young and it is thought that this accounts for the lower incidence of fractures compared with adults [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
