  • Title: [Proximal tibial epiphysiolysis in a young gymnast due to hyperflexion trauma].
    Author: Olesen UK, Lind T.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2006 Jan 23; 168(4):387-8. PubMed ID: 16436242.
    Abstract:
    The authors present an unusual case of upper tibial epiphysiolysis due to hyperflexion trauma. The patient was operated on by removal of interposed periosteum and fixation by crossed Kirchner wires. Knowledge of the mechanism of trauma and the direction of the force of the trauma is essential to the planning of the surgical approach and awareness of possible complications.
