Triplane fracture

Discussion:

Triplane fractures of the ankle are a subgroup of Salter-Harris type IV fractures.

As depicted in the above images the fracture is in sagittal plane in the epiphysis, axial through the physis and in coronal orientation through the metaphysis.

CT scans of the ankle will help with better visualization of the fracture and aid with surgical planning.
