Abstract
Lower grade fractures are by definition stable and almost always treated with casting or functional splinting. The best kind of fixation for the higher grade fractures, however, differs between adults and children. Appropriate treatments are discussed, and case-study illustrations are provided. Background on the anatomy of the tibia and femur is included.
