ABSTRACT
Tillaux fracture is a type of fracture with a rare presentation, many times it goes unnoticed as a simple sprain and has serious implications that lead to instability of the tibiotalar joint that could lead to early osteoarthritis. The available literature shows a high rate union of the same and few complications as well as no physeal premature closure because it is a type of fracture where the entire physis is almost completely closed. We present a case report of an adolescent patient who suffered an isolated Tillaux fracture. The patient underwent surgery, performing open reduction and definitive internal fixation, with the objective of establishing articular congruence of the tibiostragalina.REFERENCES
