Popis: The Dias-Tachdjian classification is a common method for classifying the physeal injuries of the ankle in children. But this classification has certain drabacks. The mechanism of the position of foot trauma is complicated. It is difficult to distinguish supination plantar flexion from supination external rotation stage 1. Although the mechanism of Tillaux fracture and Triplane fracture is supination external rotation, they are classified as others. We studied 34 patients with epiphyseal injuries of the ankle in children and investigated the advantages and drawbacks of the Dias classification. The purpose of this study is to apply Lauge-Hannsen classification to physeal injuries of the ankle in children.
