Fractures of the proximal tibial metaphysis in children: review of a series of 25 cases.

Twenty-five cases of fractures of the proximal tibial metaphysis in children are reported. They are divided into three groups: torus fractures, greenstick fractures, and complete fractures. Genu valgum appeared in 12 cases of complete or greenstick fractures. Eleven deformities deteriorated progressively in the year following trauma. Three of these were spontaneously compensated for by growth at the inferior epiphyseal plate. Four corrective osteotomies were performed in the series, but this procedure is not recommended because of the significant risk of recurrence and the possibility of compartment syndrome, even with associated fibular osteotomy. A persistent valgus deformity can be corrected during puberty, if necessary, by a medial tibial epiphysiodesis.

[Essential bone cysts of the upper end of the femur in children. Our experience with 12 cases].

The authors have operated on 12 children with solitary unicameral bone cysts of the upper femoral extremity. They opened the cysts widely, resecting one third of the bone circumference, reinforcing the bone solidity by a nail plate and filling the cavity with autogenous bone grafts. 11 cysts healed, 1 recurred. Some residual deformities were noted (coxa valga or vara).
