Adolescent Proximal Tibia Physeal Injury

چکیده
Proximal tibial growth plate injuries are one of the rare cases seen in adolescents. Acute complications, such as arterial damage and compartment syndrome, and also chronic complications, such as genu recurvatum, can be seen in these patients. In this review, we present the treatment and complications of 2 14-year-old patients, who were admitted to our emergency service as a result of acute trauma.
