| Popis: | A rare case of metaphyseal cupping of the distal femur resulting from infantile scurvy in a child is reported. The radiological and surgical aspects of this case are of particular interest. MRI demonstrated central epiphysiodesis of the right knee, surgery achieved rupture of the epiphyseal plate and resulted in femoral lengthening. The child's limp disappeared as a result. © 1993, Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart, New York. All rights reserved. |
