BACKGROUND: Tibial fracture is the third most common long-bone fracture in children. Traditionally, most tibial fractures in children have been treated non-operatively, but there are no long-term results.
METHODS: 94 children (64 boys) were treated for a tibial fracture in Aurora City Hospital during the period 1980-89 but 20 could not be included in the study. 58 of the remaining 74 patients returned a written questionnaire and 45 attended a follow-up examination at mean 27 (23-32) years after the fracture.
RESULTS: 89 children had been treated by manipulation under anesthesia and cast-immobilization, 4 by skeletal traction, and 1 with pin fixation. 41 fractures had been re-manipulated. The mean length of hospital stay was 5 (1-26) days. Primary complications were recorded in 5 children. The childrens' memories of treatment were positive in two-thirds of cases. The mean subjective VAS score (range 0-10) for function appearance was 9. Leg-length discrepancy (5-10 mm) was found clinically in 10 of 45 subjects and rotational deformities exceeding 20° in 4. None of the subjects walked with a limp. None had axial malalignment exceeding 10°. Osteoarthritis of the hip and/or knee was seen in radiographs from 2 subjects.
INTERPRETATION: The long-term outcome of tibial fractures in children treated non-operatively is generally good.
