[Differentiated protocol for the conservative/surgical treatment of ankle fractures in children].
Evaluation of the long-term results of protocolled treatment of ankle fractures in childhood. ⋯ Growth disturbances after an ankle fracture in children with an open epiphyseal plate can now be restricted to the very rare fractures with severe damage to the germinative layer of the epiphyseal plate. In general, conservative treatment should be used in Salter and Harris I and II fractures and operative treatment in displaced Salter and Harris III and IV fractures.

[What do reviewers look for in 'original articles' submitted for publication in the Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde?].
To determine to what extent reviewers of the Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde (Dutch Journal of Medicine, NTvG) use specific criteria when reviewing original articles. ⋯ Only a small fraction of the flaws in a manuscript were missed by the reviewers. Peer review is reasonably uniform at the NTvG, but would probably benefit from standardization.
