Abstract

We report on the clinical and radiological follow-up results of 37 patients with epiphyseal injuries of the knee and ankle joint who were treated in our hospital between 1985 and 1990. Most of the ankle joint injuries were sustained during track and field, soccer and basketball, and most of the knee injuries during alpine skiing. The different mechanisms of injuries of the knee and ankle joint are discussed on the basis of our own results. The therapy considers the age of patient as well as localisation and type of the epiphyseal injury. In spite of this, growth disturbances occurred in 12.5% of the ankle joint and in 9.5% of the knee joint injuries.
