Growth arrest after a physeal femur fracture in a child

editorial reviewedLes fractures physéales sont très fréquentes en traumatologie pédiatrique. De fait, le cartilage de croissance représente la zone de faiblesse des os longs. Ces fractures peuvent causer un arrêt de croissance (ou épiphysiodèse) avec des conséquences parfois gravissimes. Ce travail, basé sur un cas clinique, a pour but de rappeler que la traumatologie pédiatrique nécessite une prise en charge rigoureuse ainsi qu’un suivi post-traumatique systématique. De plus, il permettra aux cliniciens d’être particulièrement attentifs selon la localisation et les caractéristiques de la fracture.Physeal fractures are very frequent in pediatric trauma. This is explained by the fact that the epiphyseal growth plate is the weak point in long bones. These fractures may cause a growth arrest which can lead to very serious complications. The aim of this article, based on a case report, is to point out that pediatric traumatology requires a rigorous management and a systematic follow-up. Furthermore, it will remind the clinicians to be particularly cautious according to the location and the characteristics of the fracture

Translocation (16;17)(Q22;P13) Is a Recurrent Anomaly of Aneurysmal Bone Cysts

Recently, Panoutsakopoulos et al. (1999) reported 2 cases of aneurysmal bone cysts with a recurrent (16;17)(q22;p13) translocation. We present here two additional cases harboring the same translocation as well as additional chromosomal changes
