A Rare Case of Distal Femur Physeal Fracture Dislocation with Positional Vascular Compromise in an Adolescent Male
INTRODUCTION: Physeal fractures are a rare entity to occur around the knee. However, they may prove to be dangerous when encountered due to their proximity to the popliteal artery and associated risk of premature physeal closure. A distal femur displaced, SH type I, physeal fracture is very uncommon...

description | INTRODUCTION: Physeal fractures are a rare entity to occur around the knee. However, they may prove to be dangerous when encountered due to their proximity to the popliteal artery and associated risk of premature physeal closure. A distal femur displaced, SH type I, physeal fracture is very uncommon and is most likely caused by high velocity trauma. CASE REPORT: Here is a case of right sided distal femur physeal fracture dislocation in a 15-year-old boy having positional vascular compromise (popliteal vessel involvement) as a result of the fracture displacement. He was immediately planned for open reduction and fixation using multiple K wires due to limb threatening condition. We focus on the potential immediate and remote complications, the treatment modality and the functional outcome of the fracture. CONCLUSION: Due to the potential risk of immediate limb-threatening complication due to vascular compromise, this kind of injury needs emergency fixation. Furthermore, long-term complications like growth disturbances have to be considered and prevented by early definitive treatment. |
