Popis: Closed reduction and percutaneous osteosynthesis is an alternative to the open procedure for articular fractures of distal tibia of children. 38 patients were retrospectively reviewed. The measured parameters were : the score of Gleizes and the discrepancies between preoperative radiographic and CT scan measurements and postoperative radiographs. A significant correlation was found between the gap and the step-off in preoperative radiographic and CT scan. A significant decrease of the gap and step-off displacement was noticed after surgery. The Gleizes scoring showed 35 good results, 2 average results and 1 poor result. Percutaneous fixation of ankle articular fractures in children is a simple and effective treatment giving similar results to open techniques while minimizing the risk of joint stiffness and healing complications. Growth complications are comparable with both techniques.
