    BackgroundJuvenile Tillaux fracture is relatively an uncommon injury for which there appears no established treatment protocol.Materials And MethodsTen patients with juvenile Tillaux fractures were treated by open reduction and internal fixation and the results were evaluated by an objective scoring system.ResultsAt the latest follow-up (32-75 months) mean score was 99.3 (97-100) by the score of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society. Radiographically all fractures had healed in anatomical position.ConclusionTreatment of juvenile Tillaux fractures with 2mm or more displacement by internal fixation without any attempt of closed reduction gives excellent results.
