Remodelling After Trampoline Fracture in Children

March 3, 2020 updated by: Peter Klimek
The anterior tilting of the proximal tibia epiphyseal plate is a radiological tool for the diagnosis of suspected trampoline fracture. The tibial fracture leads to a ventral tilting of the tibial Plateau. This study is to document the long-term follow-up of the anterior tilt angle and to verify, if there is an uplift of the tibia plateau with correction of the anterior tilt angle to normal values (= remodelling) in order to guarantee optimal treatment of this rare fracture.
