“…In children, proximal tibial metaphyseal fractures are relatively uncommon injuries that occur between three and six years of age and are known as Cozen fractures (13,(18)(19)(20). They occur as complete or greenstick fractures of the proximal tibial metaphysis, with either no displacement or most commonly a lateral displacement.…”

“…This mechanism produces the characteristic valgus metaphyseal fracture. The prototypic activity related to the development of proximal tibial metaphyseal fractures in children is trampoline jumping (13,19,22,23). Boyer and colleagues proposed that the injury is the result of a smaller child jumping on a trampoline with a larger individual, such that the descending child hits the recoiled mat from the larger person's jump at the exact time and with a hyperextended knee, re-sulting in a significant impaction force to the child's legs (22,24).…”

“…In children, the primary consideration in the treatment of both greenstick and complete fractures is the risk of development of a post-traumatic valgus deformity (18,20,21). This deformity may become clinically significant and is reported to occur in up to 53% of cases (19,29). A minor valgus deformity may be acceptable and may remodel as the child ages.…”

“…However, this situation is not always valid for trampoline-related fractures. [38] In a study performed by Hurson et al, [11] it was reported that more than half of the trampoline injuries led to fractures. Magnetic resonance imaging is useful for the diagnosis of fractures which are unable to be shown in the plain X-rays in painful situations due to trampoline injuries.…”

In a report published in 1999 by the American Academy of Pediatrics, it was strictly recommended the disuse of trampolines in houses and physical education classes in schools and parks. [4] However, widespread use of trampolines was unable to be inhibited. The report published by American Academy of Pediatrics in 1999 was updated in 2007. [5] Risk factors for trampoline injuries The majority of the injuries occur during the activities in trampolines exist at home. [6-18] Trampoline injuries are more common in children under six years
