Popis: Background: Hegemann disease and fishtail deformity are classified as growth disturbances in the physeal plate of the humeral trochlea. It is questionable if these 2 diseases should be considered as 2 distinct conditions. The aims of this study are to (1) point out similarities between both conditions, (2) discuss etiology, and (3) provide diagnostic tools. Methods: In a multicenter prospective cohort study, 19 patients with growth disturbance of the humeral trochlea were included. Assessment consisted of a detailed history, physical examination, and standard radiographs in 2 directions. The radiographs were evaluated for skeletal age, carrying angles, and trochlear notch angles. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata. Results: A total of 19 patients were included: 2 males (11%) and 17 females (89%). The mean age of the patients was 12.8 years. In 17 patients (89%), a traumatic injury of the elbow was reported, before presentation. Decreased trochlear notch angle (
