2024年3月7日 · Proximal Tibia Metaphyseal Fractures are fractures of the proximal tibia usually seen in children from 3 to 6 years of age. This fracture is significant for its tendency to develop a late valgus deformity, known as a Cozen's phenomenon, that must be monitored closely. Diagnosis can be confirmed with plain radiographs.

The proximal tibial metaphysis is a relatively unusual site of stress fracture, and can mimic internal derangement of the knee. It has been suggested from research on bone geometry that runners with significantly smaller tibial cross-sectional dimensions and area as determined by CT and dual energy x-ray absorptionmetry (DXA) are at greater ...

Tendinitis of the tibialis anterior is an uncommon entity that may be caused by overuse of the tendon or poor conditioning. It is seen most commonly in runners and usually accompanies a rapid increase in mileage or change in training techniques.

The distal tibial metaphysis is located in the lower (distal) part of the tibia (shin bone). Fractures of this part of the tibia are most commonly due to a high energy injury in young men and to osteoporosis in older women. The optimal methods of surgical intervention for a distal tibial metaphyseal fracture remain uncertain. Objectives

A buckle/torus fracture of the distal tibial metaphysis typically occurs in young children and heals rapidly. This fracture is usually caused by low-energy trauma, eg, a simple fall. Patients may still be able to walk, albeit with a limp.

2018年6月1日 · Surgical treatment for distal tibial metaphyseal fractures is a challenge because extensive soft-tissue injuries often disrupt the vascular supply to the fracture site and increase the risk of infection and delayed union or non-union because of the thin soft tissue envelop and precarious blood supply in this region. 2

A Proximal Tibial Metaphyseal Fracture is a type of pediatric fracture that can occur in children around ages 3 to 6 in the proximal aspect of their tibia.

Objective: The aim: Analyze the literature data on the treatment of fractures of the proximal metaphysis of the tibia. Patients and methods: Materials and methods: The article used data from domestic and foreign scientific literature.

Background: The distal tibia is a common location for the classic metaphyseal lesion (CML). Prior radiologic-pathologic studies have suggested a tendency for medial, as opposed to lateral, cortical injury with the CML, but there has been no formal study of the geographic distribution of this strong indicator of abuse.

In patients with greenstick fractures, the medial proximal tibia angle (MPTA; defined as the angle of the tibial axis and the joint-line of the knee) was measured at trauma, short-term follow-up (st-FU), and long-term FU (lt-FU) as defined for the 2 groups …
