“…It can be seen on the preoperative X-ray and during the surgery. The close correlation between completely displaced distal fibula epiphyseal fracture and SPR injury needs to be emphasized and further investigated ( 18 – 19 ). Similarly, routine CT examination was recommended to clarify the condition of fracture displacement, evaluate the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis, rule out occult fractures, and assist surgical planning for better treatment and prognosis.…”

Pediatric ankle injuries are common; ankle epiphyseal fractures are also common in children. But isolated distal epiphyseal fibular fractures of the distal fibula are clinically rare. We describe one unusual case of an adolescent with a completely displaced Salter-Harris type II distal fibular epiphyseal fracture. The attempt of closed reduction failed, and the patient required open reduction and internal fixation. The localized periosteum and the superior peroneal retinaculum were avulsed from the distal fibular metaphysis, with the peroneal tendons underneath exposed but no obvious subluxation. To the best of our knowledge, this combination of injuries has not been previously reported.

“…71,72,99,100 Tension band fixation may be preferred for smaller avulsed fragments. 99,[101][102][103] Screw fixation may also be contraindicated if the patient has osteoporosis or diabetes; such patients can be treated with a plate and screw system. 72,99 Postoperatively, the patient may be nonweightbearing for 4 to 6 weeks, with ROM exercises initiated at 2 weeks (Figure 13).…”

Avulsion fractures compromise function and movement at the affected joint. If left untreated, it can lead to deformity, nonunion, malunion, pain, and disability. The purpose of this review was to identify and describe the epidemiology and available treatment options for common avulsion fractures of the upper and lower extremities. Current evidence suggests that optimal treatment is dependent on the severity of the fracture. Conservative efforts generally include casting or splinting with a period of immobilization. Surgery is typically indicated for more severe cases or if nonoperative treatments fail; patient demographics or preferences and surgeon experience may also play a role in decision making. Some avulsion fractures can be surgically managed with any one of various techniques, each with their own pros and cons, and often there is no clear consensus on choosing one technique over another; however, there is some research suggesting that screw fixation, when possible, may offer the best stability and compression at the fracture site and earlier mobilization and return to function. Physicians should be mindful of the potential complications associated with each intervention.
