  • Title: Long-term progression of a case of trans-epiphyseal fracture-dislocation of the proximal epiphysis of the femur.
    Author: Rosa D, Iammarrone CS, Bellucci R.
    Journal: Chir Organi Mov; 1991; 76(3):297-300. PubMed ID: 1816989.
    Abstract:
    Epiphyseal detachment-dislocation of the proximal femur constitutes a traumatic lesion, the immediate resolution of which always requires surgical treatment. How early treatment is carried out is important in improving the prognosis of the lesions which, however, in most cases is poor. In our case, clinical examination made 6 years post-surgery shows satisfactory preservation of range of movement with no important subjective disorders and with a minimal amount of hypometria (1 cm) even if structural epiphyseal changes visualized on radiographic examination and CT scan predict progression towards early arthritic degeneration.
