Remodelling After Trampoline Fracture in Children

Overview

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.

Study Type

  • Study Type: Observational
  • Study Design
    • Time Perspective: Prospective
  • Study Primary Completion Date: January 15, 2020

Interventions

  • Diagnostic Test: radiographs in two views of the tibia
    • 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).

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • anterior tilt angle of the tibia
    • Time Frame: one year after fracture
    • radiological measurement of the anterior tilt angle of the tibia (degree)

Secondary Measures

  • 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)
