Abstract

Surgical treatment of fractures of adolescents is often difficult as the epiphyses are still open or not yet completely closed. The osteosynthesis chosen has to consider the remaining prospective growth of the affected bone and biomechanical needs. Due to high physical maturity with small remaining growth capacity in adolescents, a number of different techniques known from osteosynthesis in adults with minor modifications can be used to treat these fractures.
