High-Yield Explanation
Traumatic separation of distal femoral Epiphysis Overall this injury is rare; However, of all the injuries of epiphysis, injuries of the distal femoral epiphysis have the highest incidence of post-traumatic growth arrest. These injuries are described according to the direction of displacement of the epiphysis and the corresponding Salter-Harris classification. Most common is medial or lateral displacement with a fracture of the adjacent metaphysic (a Salter-Harris type II injury). Such injuries reflect a marked valgus or varus stress. Posterior displacement of the femoral epiphysis is uncommon but can occur as a result of a direct blow to the flexed knee. Also know Separation of proximal femoral epiphysis (SCFE) occurs postero-medially.
