Abstract

Pediatric physical ankle fractures represent a distinct subset of injuries that require careful consideration due to the unique anatomical and physiological characteristics of the pediatric skeleton. The epidemiology of pediatric physical ankle fractures highlights their incidence rates, age, and gender predilections, emphasizing the importance of understanding their prevalence in the pediatric population. Classification systems, notably the Salter-Harris classification, aid in characterizing fracture patterns and guiding management strategies based on injury severity. This review provides a comprehensive overview of pediatric physical ankle fractures, encompassing epidemiology, classification, diagnosis, treatment modalities, complications, outcomes, rehabilitation, prevention strategies, and future directions.
