Growth Plate Injuries

Location: http://www0.sun.ac.za/ortho/webct-ortho/growthplate/gplate.html

In children the growth plate is up to five times weaker than the ligaments stabilising the adjacent joint.The adjacent bone is also stronger than the cartilaginous growth plate. Injury thus often leads to separation of the growth plate leaving the ligaments and capsule intact. The separation takes place in the...

Growth Plate Physeal Fractures eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic627.htm

Sprains and strains commonly occurring in active adults are relatively benign injuries. However, when similar injuries occur in growing children, they often result in the potentially more serious growth plate or physeal fracture. This article discusses some of the important orthopedic history relative to the physes, relevant anatomy, classification systems,...

Physeal injury in a lightning strike survivor

Location: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11521028

Electrical injuries resulting in physeal injury in children are an uncommon but well-recognized clinical entity. Almost all these injuries are sustained from man-made electrical sources. To date, there have been no published cases of growth arrest after lightning strike. The authors report the case of a 12-year-old girl who survived...

Havránek P. J Pediatr Orthop B. 1996 Spring;5(2):115-8.
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Thomayer Teaching Hospital, Prague, Czech Republic.
Six children with a rare injury to the proximal fibular physis in a 5-year period were reviewed. This number of patients constituted only 0.09% of all children's fractures and 2.05% of all fibular fractures...
