Triplane fractures of the distal femur in paediatric populations are extremely rare. Only three cases of paediatric triplane fractures of the distal femur are described in the literature. Our aim is to add to the scant literature on triplane fractures of the distal femur in the paediatric population. The majority of trauma and orthopaedic surgeons are not expected to come across this injury throughout their careers. A CT is recommended to plan surgery, and subsequent follow up is crucial to provide the child with the best possible outcome. In particular, follow up is important to monitor for any abnormal growth or deformities.
小儿人群中股骨远端的三平面骨折极为罕见。文献中仅描述了3例小儿股骨远端三平面骨折的病例。我们的目的是补充有关小儿人群股骨远端三平面骨折的稀少文献。大多数创伤和骨科外科医生在其职业生涯中预计不会遇到这种损伤。建议进行CT扫描以规划手术,随后的随访对于为患儿提供最佳可能结果至关重要。特别是,随访对于监测任何异常生长或畸形很重要。
