Neonatal proximal femoral epiphysiolysis (NPFE): a case report.

چکیده

Disruption of the proximal femoral epiphysis in the neonate is a rare injury, and requires to be differentiated from congenital dislocation of hip, osteomyelitis of proximal femur and fracture of the proximal femoral metaphysis. The proximal femoral epiphysis in the neonate is not visible in an X-ray. Therefore, diagnosis of its disruption is not easy. Radiological changes do occur in the proximal metaphysis; but by the time they occur, diagnosis is missed, and treatment delayed. The present case reveals such a situation and merits reporting.

Ipsilateral distal femoral and proximal tibial epiphyseal growth plate injury: a case report

INTRODUCTION Both the isolated distal femoral epiphysiolysis and the isolated proximal tibial epiphysiolysis are the least common epiphyseal injuries. Even though they are uncommon, they have a high incidence rate of complications. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case with Gustilo-Anderson grade 3b open and Salter-Harris type 1 epiphysiolysis of the distal femur and proximal tibia caused by a ...

Proximal Femoral Epiphysiolysis and Subclinical Hypothyroidism: Case Report

Proximal femoral epiphysiolysis is an orthopedic disease that is prevalent during adolescence, because this coincides with the time of greatest growth of osteomuscular structures. Curiously, some patients present this disease early, and this outcome converts to the possible etiological explanation that the slippage might occur through a growth spurt. For these patients, the genesis of the slipp...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Diagnosing the Pre-slip Stage of the Contralateral Proximal Femoral Epiphysis in Patients with Unilateral Epiphysiolysis

UNLABELLED To assess the importance of using conventional magnetic resonance imaging and T2 mapping to determine the pre-slip stage of the contralateral epiphysis in patients with a clinical and radiographic diagnosis of unilateral proximal femoral epiphysiolysis who were initially treated with in-situ fixation. METHODS This prospective clinical study on 11 patients with unilateral epiphysiol...

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) after proximal femoral fixation is a challenging procedure due to possible hardware-related complications. Case presentation: A 78-year-old female with hip osteoarthritis had a proximal femoral osteotomy fixed using a blade plate in the same femur 41 years ago. A two-step approach was planned. After a challenging...
