Ankle Fractures In Children

A broken ankle, also called an ankle fracture, is a common childhood injury. Ankle fractures in children are most likely to involve the tibia and fibula (the long bones in the lower leg). These types of fractures often involve the growth plates.

Chondroblastoma

Chondroblastoma is a rare type of benign (noncancerous) tumor that typically occurs in children and young adults. Although chondroblastomas are not cancerous, they will continue to grow if left untreated. Treatment almost always involves surgery to remove the tumor.

Growth Plate Fractures

Growth plates are areas of cartilage at the ends of the body’s long bones. Because the growth plates are the last portion of a child’s bones to harden (ossify), they are particularly vulnerable to fracture.

Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Soft tissue sarcomas are cancerous tumors that begin in the soft tissues of the body, such as muscles, fat, joints, nerves, and blood vessels. There are many types of soft tissue sarcoma and some are more likely to spread than others.
