“…Among the ten reported cases, two developed osteochondritis after ankle fracture [1,11]. A mild trauma without fracture or repetitive strain on the ankle was described in five cases [5][6][7]9]. Similar to a previous bilateral involvement case report [10], no history of trauma or sports injury was found in our observation.…”

“…Osteochondrosis of the distal tibial epiphysis is a very uncommon location, with only ten cases reported since 1950 to the best of our knowledge [1,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Bilateral involvement of the distal tibial epiphysis is extremely rare with two case reports in 1993 [6] and 2015 [10].…”

PurposeTo evaluate the efficacy of intramedullary Kirschner wires for the treatment of unstable tibial shaft fractures in children.MethodsThis prospective study was conducted at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery in Maharishi Markandeshwar Medical College from June 2005 to June 2010. Sixty-six children having closed fracture of the tibial shaft with a mean age of 7.7 years (range, 2–14 years) were recruited from emergency and outpatient department. They were treated with percutaneous intramedullary Kirschner wires. The clinical results of our study were rated on the basis of the criteria of union, nonunion, delayed union or malunion. All children were followed for one year.ResultsChildren achieved union in a mean time of 8 weeks (range, 6–10 weeks). Postoperatively, three children (4.55%) had delayed union, one (1.52%) valgus deformity of lower leg, three (4.55%) postoperative knee pain and twelve (18.18%) skin irritation at pin site. Wires were removed after 8–22 weeks without any complications. No patient was lost to follow-up. The results were excellent in 95.45% and good in 4.55% children.ConclusionThis technique is cost-effective, simple, quick to perform, safe and reliable and avoids prolonged hospitalization with good results.

We report a case of a painful accessory ossification centre of the medial malleolus in an 11-year-old girl who was not involved in sports activities. The patient was treated conservatively, with complete clinical and radiographic healing of the medial malleolus 6 months after the first presentation. We ruled out the uncommon pathological conditions causing chronic pain in the medial malleolus during skeletal growth, such as traction apophysitis of the medial malleolus, osteochondrosis, osteochondritis or avascular necrosis of the distal tibial epiphysis. We speculate that this painful condition may be classified as an osteochondrosis of the accessory ossification centre of the medial malleolus.
