ABSTRACT
The known causes of premature physeal growth arrest are trauma, infection, tumor, antibiotics, radiation and vascular insult. We report here on a premature, very low birth-weight infant who was complicated with premature physeal arrest of the proximal and distal tibial physis after severe limb ischemia due to thromboembolism of the right femoral artery. This case suggests that a severe ischemic state of the lower extremity might cause premature physeal arrest in premature infants.
