Expanded Demographics for the Tillaux Fracture in Patients Receiving Feminizing Hormone Therapy A Case Report

We present the case of a transgender female patient who had been undergoing feminizing hormone therapy for several years and sustained a Tillaux fracture despite being older than the expected age range for females with this injury pattern. Despite work focused on understanding physeal closure, the molecular signals governing this phenomenon remain incompletely described. This case study illustrates that physeal closure may be delayed in patients undergoing sex hormone therapy with associated transitional fractures possibly occurring later than would be expected for the transitional gender. Additional work is necessary to clarify the direct effect of sex hormonal therapy on physeal homeostasis.
