ABSTRACT

Epiphyseal fractures are frequently associated with knee trauma during sports in children and adolescents. Usually, Salter-Harris types I and II fractures are conservatively treated. However, failed closed reduction of displaced fractures suggest the presence of trapped periosteum, with indication for surgery. The present report describes a case of Salter-Harris type I fracture of the distal femur in a child, complicated with trapped periosteum detected at magnetic resonance imaging.


Fraturas epifisárias são frequentemente relacionadas a traumatismo do joelho durante práticas esportivas em crianças e adolescentes. Fraturas Salter-Harris tipos I e II são tratadas conservadoramente, no entanto, quando irredutíveis, sugerem interposição de fragmento periosteal, sendo indicada cirurgia. Este trabalho relata fratura epifisária Salter-Harris tipo I do fêmur distal de uma criança, com interposição de periósteo detectado no exame de ressonância magnética.
