INCORRECT


The correct answer is:

FALSE:

This is a progressive valgus deformity which is more severe than usual but still within the range expected from a proximal tibial fracture. Because the deformity is only in the leg with the fracture and there are no other physical problems in this child, no further work up is indicated.
