Our experience with management of epiphyseolysis in children and adolescents.

Abstract

A total of 58 children is referred to with fractured growth plates of the distal forearm, proximal humerus, radial condyle of humerus, ulnar epicondyle of humerus, distal tibia, proximal tibia and the distal femur. The related injuries are divided in accord with Salter-Harris classification. The treatment of epiphyseolyses is concerned together with summarizing its results and the appropriate experience. In addition, the indications for both conservative and surgical approaches are delimitated in treating these injuries.
