The cases of 35 patients in whom a triplane fracture had been treated at the Ramón y Cajal Hospital were reviewed. The diagnosis of biplane and triplane fracture can now be made by standard radiograph. However, plain radiographs alone did not accurately demonstrate the configuration of the fracture, and computed tomography must be performed. Closed reduction should be attempted first. Failure to obtain or maintain (or both) an adequate closed reduction is an indication for operative treatment. Prognosis is surprisingly good. Only when adequate reduction (< 2 mm displacement) has not been achieved can degenerative changes be seen at long-term follow-up (> 5 years).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008349 Manipulation, Orthopedic The planned and carefully managed manual movement of the musculoskeletal system, extremities, and spine to produce increased motion. The term is sometimes used to denote a precise sequence of movements of a joint to determine the presence of disease or to reduce a dislocation. In the case of fractures, orthopedic manipulation can produce better position and alignment of the fracture. (From Blauvelt & Nelson, A Manual of Orthopaedic Terminology, 5th ed, p264) Orthopedic Manipulation
D011379 Prognosis A prediction of the probable outcome of a disease based on a individual's condition and the usual course of the disease as seen in similar situations. Prognostic Factor,Prognostic Factors,Factor, Prognostic,Factors, Prognostic,Prognoses
D001860 Bone Plates Implantable fracture fixation devices attached to bone fragments with screws to bridge the fracture gap and shield the fracture site from stress as bone heals. (UMDNS, 1999) Bone Plate,Plate, Bone,Plates, Bone
D001863 Bone Screws Specialized devices used in ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY to repair bone fractures. Bone Screw,Screw, Bone,Screws, Bone
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D004838 Epiphyses The head of a long bone that is separated from the shaft by the epiphyseal plate until bone growth stops. At that time, the plate disappears and the head and shaft are united. Epiphysis
D005260 Female Females
D005360 Fibula The bone of the lower leg lateral to and smaller than the tibia. In proportion to its length, it is the most slender of the long bones. Fibulas
