Bilateral fracture-separations of the distal radial epiphyses during weight-lifting.

Bilateral fracture-separations of the distal radial epiphyses during weight-lifting.

CASE REPORT A thirteen year old boy (at the 80th percentile for height and weight) was weight-lifting, alone, in a makeshift gymnasium at his parents' house. As he approached the apex of a lift, the barbell weighing 30 kg passed posterior to his centre of gravity and began to pull him over backwards.

Fracture-separations of the Distal Tibial Epiphysis

Three cases of a rare complication ofSalter Type II fracture-separations of the distal tibial epiphysis are described. Interposition of the anterior tibial neurovascular bundle between the displaced epiphysis and the lower tibia prevented reduction and, in two patients, the blood supply to the foot was compromised. Open reduction and internal fixation resulted in a satisfactory outcome in each ...
