“…Reviewing the literature, we found there were only ve cases of isolated epiphyseal fractures of distal bular (Table 1). The rst case reported as early as 2010 described a SH type IV bular epiphyseal fracture 7 , which was a triplane fracture of the distal bula. This represents a speci c stereotype fracture pattern because of the asymmetric physeal closure and it's proof that transitional fractures can occur also in locations other than the distal tibia.…”

Ankle injuries are the most common pediatric injury. 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.

Physiologic closure of the growth plate of the distal tibia occurs between the ages of 12 and 14 years in girls and 1 year later in boys. The closure of the tibial physis starts eccentrically at the ventrolateral zone of the medial malleolus extending dorsally and ends laterally. Therefore, the anterolateral zone is the last to ossify. The process of closure lasts about 18 months. During this period the growth plate loses its joint-protective function and transitional fractures may occur. The more the closure progresses the more lateral the location of the fracture. In addition to the typical transitional fractures, typical fracture patterns of adults in the ossified physis are possible due to a mature bone structure. We report two cases of transitional fractures combined with typical fracture patterns of adults due to a dorsomedial ossified physis in the distal tibia.
