“…Conservative treatment with a spica cast with or without traction produces a satisfactory outcome in patients younger than 6 years of age 5,11,12,13,14,15 . Primary indications for surgical treatment include polytrauma, severe head injury, open fractures, multiple long bone fractures and ipsliateral tibia fractures 16,17,18 .…”

“…Os resultados ruins são pouco freqüentes e relacionados com encurtamento angulação e má rotação (31) ; os desvios rotacionais não sofrem remodelação com o tempo. Embora pacientes mais velhos (~14 anos) tenham maior tendência para apresentar problemas de consolidação, poucas vezes há indicação de tratamento operatório (32)(33) . Entretanto, alguns casos requerem estabilização cirúrgica, como no paciente politraumatizado, com trauma craniencefálico, lesões de pele tipo abrasão, queimaduras e síndrome de compartimento.…”

“…Nevertheless, in clinical practice it is observed that the deformity in external rotation is tolerated better that that in internal rotation. 13 During growth, babies and infants can correct approximately 50% of post-fracture residual angulation. In children over 10 years of age, there will only be an improvement of the poor axial alignment in 25% of the cases.…”

Tibial diaphyseal fractures in children and adolescents are relatively common injuries and often evolve with good results when treated through traditional methods of conservative treatment. Their elevated frequency is due to the high degree of exposure of children in physical activities and also to the topographic location, exposing them to direct or indirect trauma. The approach used should consider and respect some features regarding age, place of affection (whether proximal or distal), type of fracture and therapy. The anatomical advantage of a thicker periosteum and flexibility when submitted to angular impacts can provide younger children with greater stability and, consequently, increases their chances of a better prognosis than older children and adolescents. In the latter, the degree of exposure to highenergy trauma and the greater complexity and severity of injuries have caused the recent trend towards stabilization surgery to become more common. Frequent complications in the evolution of fractures in adults such as infection, delayed union and nonunion are much less common in children, although the risk of occurrence of compartment syndrome is an event that requires attention, especially with plaster.
