Genu recurvatum: a late complication of tibial wire traction in fractures of the femur in children.

I Bjerkreim, P Benum.   

Abstract

Seven cases of genu recurvatum following wire traction through the proximal end of the tibia in children treated for fractures of the femur are reported. A premature closure of the anterior part of the growth plate was most probably caused by too close a proximity of the wire to the tibial tuberosity. Where tibial wire traction is used in children it is advisable to insert the wire distal to the tuberosity.
