Among the iatrogenic causes of these contusions, the trans-tibial pine traction may induce a genu recurvatum even far from the tibial tubercle: so we must avoid this method.

Twenty-six had injuries in the medial corner of the ankle mortise (Mac-Farland). Fifty patients were treated non-operatively with closed reduction and plaster cast. Fourty-six fractures were treated surgically. Seventy patients were available for follow-up evaluation. The average follow-up was thirty-two months (range 6 months to eleven years).
