Remodelling After Trampoline Fracture in Children

The anterior tilting of the proximal tibia epiphyseal plate is a radiological tool for the diagnosis of suspected trampoline fracture. The tibial fracture leads to a ventral tilting of the tibial Plateau. This study is to document the long-term follow-up of the anterior tilt angle and to verify, if there is an uplift of the tibia plateau with correction of the anterior tilt angle to normal values (= remodelling) in order to guarantee optimal treatment of this rare fracture.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • trampoline fracture of the proximal lower leg

Exclusion criteria

  • proximal tibial fractures with unclear etiology

Treatment and study plan

radiographs in two views of the tibia

Diagnostic Test

The anterior tilt angle of the tibia will be measured by two specialized radiologists according to a specific radiological angle measurement tool (PACS Sectra IDS7TM, Linköping, Sweden).

Primary outcomes

  1. anterior tilt angle of the tibia

    Time frame: one year after fracture

    radiological measurement of the anterior tilt angle of the tibia (degree)

Secondary outcomes

  1. difference of anterior tilt angle of the fractured tibia compared with the angle of the healthy tibia

    Time frame: one year after fracture

    difference of anterior tilt angle of the fractured tibia compared with the angle of the healthy tibia (degree)
