Distal radius physeal fractures are common in children and adolescents. However, posttraumatic growth arrest is uncommon. The management of posttraumatic growth arrest is dependent on the severity of the deformity and the remaining growth potential of the patient. Various treatment options exist. We present a 17-year-old male with distal radius growth arrest who presented four years after the initial injury. He had a symptomatic 15 mm positive ulnar variance managed with an ulnar shortening osteotomy with the use of the AO mini distractor intraoperatively. To the best of our knowledge, an acute ulnar shortening of 15 mm is the largest reported.
桡骨远端骨骺骨折在儿童和青少年中很常见。然而，创伤后生长停滞并不常见。创伤后生长停滞的治疗取决于畸形的严重程度和患者剩余的生长潜力。有多种治疗选择。我们报告一名17岁男性桡骨远端生长停滞患者，其在初次受伤四年后就诊。他有15毫米的尺骨正向变异且有症状，通过术中使用AO微型牵开器进行尺骨短缩截骨术进行治疗。据我们所知，15毫米的急性尺骨短缩是报告中最大的。
