Abstract des Autors
In this evaluation of 203 acute epiphyseal fractures in the long bones of 183 patients aged 3 to 18, 79 fractures (39) were related to the following ten sports activities: football, hockey, basketball, downhill skiing, baseball/ softball, wrestling, soccer, gymnastics, tennis, and volleyball. An additional 21 fractures occurred in weight lifting, roller skating, ice skating, and skateboarding. Approximately 50 of the fractures in this urban population were sportsrelated. The symptoms of epiphyseal fractures are same as symptoms of fractures or ligament injuries in general. Physicians should always consider the possibility of epiphyseal fracture in adolescent injuries. Verf.-Referat
