Therapeutic progress in the management of triplane fractures in adolescents

The triplane fracture is a complex, idiosyncratic, and relatively rare type of specialized fracture of adolescents. The fracture type of triplane fractures is determined by the mechanism of injury and the degree of closure of the epiphyseal plate. The absence of a universally accepted framework for categorizing triplane fractures increase the likelihood of being underdiagnosed. By utilizing x-rays and CT scans, it is possible to gain a comprehensive and precise understanding of fracture characteristics, which can then be used to identify other concurrent injuries and provide precise guidance for treatment. There is still no broad consensus on its treatment scheme. Without proper treatment, it may cause adverse consequences such as osteoarthritis and angular deformity. This article summarizes the clinical research conducted on the diagnosis and treatment of triplane fractures, to enhance clinicians' comprehension of this unique fracture pattern, augment diagnostic precision, and enhance treatment results.
