Review Case Reports
[Bilateral atraumatic epiphysiolysis of the head of the tibia].
We report above a 14-year old boy, who suffered from a bilateral epiphyseal fracture type Salter/Harris II of the proximal tibia within four weeks without having an adequate trauma. Accompanying injuries were not found. ⋯ On both sides we achieved a correct axis and length in a uncomplicated healing with free joint movement. On the base of the result of our treatment we show a literature review of this rare form of epiphysiolysis.
