[Tillaux fractures: functional results after surgical treatment].
Tillaux Fractures are an infrequent type of fracture that occurs in teenagers. The mechanism is an external rotation that causes stress on the anterior tibiofibular ligament, which displace the distal tibial physis fragment. ⋯ Treatment by orthopedic reduction and internal fixation with a screw is suitable for Tillaux fractures with a displacement of 2 mm or more.
