K-Wire-Based External Fixator for Management of Salter-Harris Type-II Distal Femur Physeal Injury

We present a case of a 16-year-old male with a Salter-Harris type II physeal slip of the distal femur managed with closed reduction and K wire and clamp-based external fixator. Knee range of motion exercises were initiated after one week. The union was observed at 10 weeks, and implant removal was d...

description We present a case of a 16-year-old male with a Salter-Harris type II physeal slip of the distal femur managed with closed reduction and K wire and clamp-based external fixator. Knee range of motion exercises were initiated after one week. The union was observed at 10 weeks, and implant removal was done on an outpatient basis. At one year follow-up, the patient had good clinical and radiological outcomes. The K-wire-based external fixator frame is an effective fixation method for distal femur physeal slips in older children, providing favorable radiological and functional outcomes.
