Growth Disturbance After Distal Femoral Growth Plate Fractures in Children: A Meta-Analysis
Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 09/25/09

Basener CJ et al. – Fifty–two percent of distal femoral growth plate fractures had some form of growth disturbance. Twenty–two percent of all distal femoral growth plate fractures developed a leg length discrepancy of greater than 1.5 cm. SH 1 fractures had the lowest incidence of growth disturbance, whereas SH 4 fractures had the highest rate of growth disturbance at 64%. Although there is a greater incidence of growth disturbance in patients who were treated with fixation, there was a decreased incidence of significant growth disturbance.
