Analysis of Risk Factors for Valgus Deformity Following Pediatric Proximal Tibial Metaphyseal Fractures
Differences between medial and lateral fracture separation lengths, lateral cortical collapse, and progressive fracture gap widening by callus expansion at 1-month follow-up are independent risk factors for Cozen phenomenon. Fracture separation and ipsilateral fibular fracture increased the degree of tibial valgus.
