PHYSEAL INJURIES & GROWTH DISTURBANCE

1. PHYSEAL INJURIES & GROWTH DISTURBANCE Dr.GhaznaviPediatric Orthopedic Fellowship TUMS

2. One of the unique aspects of pediatric orthopaedics is the presence of the physis (or growth plate), which provides longitudinal growth of children's long bones.

5. Classification

6. Mercer Rang

7. Peterson

8. Type 1 • Transphyseal plane of injury • soft tissue swelling, making careful patient examination • phalanges, metacarpals, distal tibia, and distal ulna. • Ultrasound,MRI,Arthtography • Stress Radiography unnecessary • fracture line in zone of Hypertrophy • subsequent growth disturbance is relatively uncommon

9. Type 2 • limited propensity to subsequent growth disturbance • (the Thurston-Holland fragment or sign). • Hypertrophic zone

10. Type 3 • through the articular surface and extend vertically toward the physis • Germinal and proliferative • high-energy or compression • higher risk of subsequent growth disturbance. • Anatomic reduction (usually open) and stabilization

11. Type 4 • vertical shear fractures • metaphyseal-epiphyseal cross-union • subsequent growth disturbance. • Frequent around the medial malleolus, Lateral condylar • anatomic reduction and adequate stabilization

12. Type 5 • Unrecognized compression injuries with normal initial radiographs • later produced premature physeal closure. • most common example of such an injury is closure of the tibial tubercle

13. Salter-Harris classification remains an easily recognized and recalled classification

14. Study between 1979 and 1988, in Olmstead County, Minnesota. 951 physealFx 1979-1988 20%to 30% of all childhood fractures were physeal injuries.

15. The phalanges represent the most common location Next most common site the distal radius peak incidence at age 14 in boys and 11to 12 in girls 2: 1 male to female ratio

16. Treatment Emergent

17. Excellent remodeling potential not to create physeal injury by excessively forceful or invasive reductions.

19. HARRIS GROWTH ARREST LINES • Transversely oriented condensations of normal bone • represent slowing or cessation of growth • effective representation of the health of the physis • If transverse and parallel, growing normally • If partial injury, the growth arrest line will be asymmetric

20. PHYSEAL GROWTH DISTURBANCE

21. Evaluation • plain radiography • CT scanning with sagittal & coronal reconstructions hallmark of plain radiographic loss of normal physeal contour Frank physeal arrests Sclerosis in the region of the arrest

22. MRI scan (three-dimensional spoiled recalled gradient echo images with fat saturation) • Alignment view • Scanogeram

23. Classification Angular Deformity LLD

24. Management • Prevention of Arrest Formation. • Partial Physeal Arrest Resection. • Physeal Distraction • Repeated Osteotomies during Growth • Completion of Epiphysiodesis and Management of Resulting Limb Length Discrepancy

26. Physeal Arrest Resection Good prognosis Trauma ,ITV Infection;Tumor; Irradiation Poor prognosis Central, Linear, Better prognosis Good prognosis Distal tibia Poor prognosis Distal Femur 25% >2y

27. Pre Op. planning Extent & Location CT ,MRI Minimize trauma Metaphyseal window Fluoroscopy Briliant light source Magnifiction Dry surgical field Arthroscope High speed burr
