Abstract

The distal humerus and distal tibia are the most common sites of epiphyseal fractures. Epiphyseal detachment was found to occur more often in the region of upper extremities. Treatment of children for epiphyseal fractures is inevitably accompanied by growth disorders. Articular and diaphyseal malpositions are controllable. Fractures in childhood and, consequently, epiphyseal fractures should be grouped by diaphyseal and articular fractures. Epiphyseal detachment should then be associated with diaphyseal fractures, and epiphyseal fractures should be grouped under articular fractures.
