The no-growth disturbance group consisted of 121 patients (84 boys and 37 girls), with a mean age of 11.50\u2009\u00b1\u20093.20\u00a0years, and there were 68, 52, and 1 injuries to the left, right, and bilateral sides, respectively. The average maximal displacement was 5.51\u2009\u00b1\u20093.18\u00a0mm, and 27.27% (33\/121) of patients also had a fibula fracture. The growth disturbance group contained 22 patients (12 boys and 10 girls) with a mean age of 9.32\u2009\u00b1\u20093.56\u00a0years, and there were 12, 10, and 0 injuries on the left, right, and bilateral sides, respectively. The average maximal displacement was 5.77\u2009\u00b1\u20094.89\u00a0mm, and 45.45% (10\/22) of patients also had a fibula fracture.
