Abstrakt: A 13-year-old boy came to the Emergency Department with a Salter Harris type 1 epiphysiolysis of the distal femur. These fractures can be treated with a closed reduction and possible fixation. They cause a growth disturbance in 65 % of dislocated cases and therefore should be clinically evaluated until skeletal maturity.
