Abstract des Autors
A 14-year-old female gymnast reported pain at the dorsum of her right wrist. Physical examination and radiographs suggested a stress fracture of the wrist physis - an injury reported most often in highly competitive, advanced gymnasts. Radiographs revealed marked widening of the growth plate and haziness within the epiphyseal plate. Treatment involved immobilization of the patient's wrist for 7 weeks until radiographic abnormalities reversed, and physical therapy for 2 weeks to increase wrist flexibility and strength.
