Avascular necrosis of the distal phalangeal epiphysis following physeal fracture: A case report

Avascular necrosis of the distal phalangeal epiphysis following an unrecognized angulated Salter II fracture of the distal phalanx treated by open reduction and internal fixation resulted in premature closure of the growth plate and mild shortening. The epiphysis itself revascu-larized and good func...

Zusammenfassung:Avascular necrosis of the distal phalangeal epiphysis following an unrecognized angulated Salter II fracture of the distal phalanx treated by open reduction and internal fixation resulted in premature closure of the growth plate and mild shortening. The epiphysis itself revascu-larized and good function of the distal interphalangeal joint was maintained. (J Hand Surg 1999;24A:633–637.
