“…With relation to the likely high impact and rotational forces involved, an MRI scan is useful in identifying concurrent soft tissue injury of the knee joint, such as associated intra-articular injury to the ACL, assessment of the physeal plate, as well as to identify any soft tissue trapping within the fracture site preventing adequate reduction. In our case and as documented by Nowicki et al ,17 periosteal trapping is not uncommon. As such, we recommend MRI scans for all suspected triplane injuries of the proximal tibia with a low threshold for open reduction and internal fixation, to clear the likely presence of a periosteal sleeve caught within the fracture fragment.…”

“… 9 There is one report of a limb length discrepancy and compartment syndrome after this injury. 10 Table 1 summarizes the available literature on this injury. Most cases occur in adolescents between ages 12 through 16 years, a time when growth is rapid and physes are beginning to close.…”

“…Le taux de complications varie de 5 pour cent pour l’atteinte de l'artère poplitée et le nerf fibulaire à 25 pour cent pour les troubles de croissance, les cals vicieuses et l’inégalité de longueur du membre [14, 15]. Dans un travail récent de Nowicki et al [12], les auteurs rapportent la survenue d’un syndrome de loge de la jambe, chez un enfant de 11 ans qui présentaient une fracture triplane de l’extrémité proximale du tibia. Le risque de cette complication très grave est estimé à 3 pour cent [14].…”

“…Au dernier recul, les auteurs ne rapportent pas de perturbation de la croissance et la patiente a repris ses activités normales. Dans le cas publié par Nowicki et al [12] intéressant une patiente de 11 ans, la réduction a été obtenue à ciel ouvert après échec de la tentative à foyer fermé en raison de l’incarcération des parties molles et du périoste dans le foyer fracturaire. Pour la fixation, les auteurs ont eu recours à des broches et des vis canulées.…”
