A prospective study of 15 patients with Kaplan's like variant of distal femoral epiphysiolysis
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Epiphysiolysis is an uncommon injury which is fraught with complications. Completely separated physical fractures of distal femur invariably need osteosynthesis with open reduction and fixation to prevent redisplacement. We evaluated 15 patients prospectively until their skeletal maturity to assess the complications in distal femur epiphysiolysis. Clinically puckered sign indicates irreducibility in distal femur epiphysiolysis. The long term complications are mainly limited to angular deformity and shortening of the limb. Keywords: Distal femoral epiphysiolysis.
