A prospective study of 15 patients with Kaplan's like variant of distal femoral epiphysiolysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Epiphysiolysis is an uncommon injury which is fraught with complications. Completely separated physeal 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.

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...
متن کاملDistal Femoral Osteotomy in Genovalgum: Internal Fixation with Blade Plate Versus Casting
Background: To compare the results of two different ways of distal femoral osteotomy stabilization in patients suffering from genuvalgum: internal fixation with plate, and casting. Methods: In a non-randomized prospective study, after distal femoral osteotomy with the zigzag method, patients were divided into two groups: long leg casting, and internal fixation with blade plate. For all pati...
متن کاملThe Clinical Outcome of Simultaneous Lateral Closed- Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in the ACL-deficient Knees with Symptomatic Femoral Varus Deformity
Background: Nowadays combined high tibial osteotomy and ACL reconstruction is accepted as a safe and effectivesurgery for patients with symptomatic varus osteoarthritis and anterior knee instability; however, the source of varusdeformity is sometimes the femoral bone. No studies have reported concomitant ACL reconstruction and distal femoralosteotomy in ACL-deficient knees wit...
متن کاملIpsilateral 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 ...
