Salter-Harris Type III and Type IV Combined Fracture of the Distal Femoral Epiphysis : A Case Report

الملخص EN

Distal femoral physeal fractures are not common but have a high rate of complications.

They generally follow one of the patterns described in the Salter-Harris classification.

We present a case of combination of Salter-Harris type III and type IV injury.

Our case was a 15-year-old boy who had a motor vehicle accident.

There was swelling, ecchymosis, severe pain, and valgus deformity, because of medial proximal fracture fragment, on the left knee.

We deemed that Salter-Harris type III and type IV combination fracture in our case has not been previously reported.

We prepared this paper in consideration of its contribution to the literature.
