Abstract
Juvenile Tillaux fracture is relatively an uncommon injury for which there appears no established treatment protocol. Ten patients with juvenile Tillaux fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation and the results were evaluated by an objective scoring system. At the latest follow-up (32-75 months) mean score was 99.3 (97-100) by the score of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society. Radiographically all fractures had healed in anatomical position. Treatment of juvenile Tillaux fractures with 2mm or more displacement by internal fixation without any attempt of closed reduction gives excellent results.
