  • Title: [Osteochondral shear fractures in children. A case report and critical review of the literature].
    Author: Schillians N, Baltzer AW, Liebau C, Merk HR, Krauspe R.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 2001 Mar; 126(3):233-6. PubMed ID: 11301891.
    Abstract:
    Only few articles on osteochondral flake fractures in children have been published. Diagnostic tools have been improved over the past decades, but still, diagnosis of severe osteochondral defects may be delayed. The presented case report describes the different techniques currently being available for the diagnosis of osteochondral flake fractures. The different therapeutic options for the treatment of osteochondral flake fractures in children are discussed based on the current literature. This article demonstrates the necessity to consider severe injuries, even if impressive clinical symptoms are lacking.
