Growth disturbance lines after injury of the distal tibial physis. Their significance in prognosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We reviewed 26 fractures involving the distal physis of the tibia to identify the patterns of formation and displacement of the subsequent growth disturbance lines. Twenty-one patients showed a regular "normal" pattern of line and healed with no deformity. Three patients had medical physeal arrest revealed by abnormal lines. Two other cases had a minor central physeal arrest without subsequent deformity. The pattern and character of the growth disturbance line can provide an early warning of potential deformity.

Evaluation of 83 Cases of Trumatic Lesions of Growth Plate
Physis or "Growth plate" is responsible for Longitudinal and latitudinal growth of bones, during growth period of life. Trumatic lesions of the physis may have disturbancing effect on the growing bone. These lesions can result complete or partial growth arrest and shortten-ing or angular deformity of the bone.Trumatic lesion of the Physis is very common in male than female, and they are 15 to 2...
متن کاملMutual position of the distal fibular physis and the tibiotalar joint space - radiological typology and clinical significance.
AIM The mutual position of the distal fibular physis compared to the tibiotalar joint space in the immature skeleton was investigated in X-ray studies. The clinical relevance of the recorded mutual position was evaluated for paediatric skeletal traumatology. MATERIALS AND METHODS 140 radiographs of immature ankle joints without skeletal injury were reviewed and the mutual position of the dist...
متن کاملEntrapped periosteum preventing reduction of a Salter-Harris II distal tibial fracture in an adolescent patient. MRI and intra-operative findings
P hyseal or growth plate injuries comprise 18% of all pediatric fractures, with Salter Harris type II as the most common type of fracture injury pattern observed in 61% of patients. The incidence of growth arrest is just over 1%, and the incidence of serious complications is less than 1%. Irreducible physeal fractures, caused by entrapment of the periosteum, tendons or ligaments, are of particu...
متن کاملProgressive genu valgum resulting from idiopathic lateral distal femoral physeal growth suppression in adolescents.
BACKGROUND Progressive genu varum with disturbance of medial tibial physeal growth (classic Blount disease) is a well-studied phenomenon, and in rare cases, genu varum can occur because of medial distal femoral physeal growth disturbance (so-called femoral Blount disease). To our knowledge, progressive genu valgum caused by disturbance of lateral distal femoral physeal growth has not been descr...
متن کاملGrowth after extendible endoprosthetic replacement of the distal femur.
We report our results in 24 children with malignant primary bone tumours of the distal femur treated with a Stanmore extendible endoprosthesis (SEER). This consists of a femoral component that can be lengthened, a constrained knee and an uncemented sliding tibial component which crosses the proximal tibial physeal plate perpendicularly. The average age of the patients at diagnosis was ten years...
