Epiphyseal dislocations and fractures frequently occur in children and adolescents. However, these injuries seldom involve the distal femur, and bilateral cases are even rarer. We present an unusual case of bilateral epiphyseal detachment of the femur in a 21-year-old man who was involved in a traffic accident. Open reduction and fixation surgery were performed 5 days after the incident. The patient experienced favorable progress, with consolidation occurring at 3 months. No lower limb length discrepancies were observed at the 20-month follow-up. In summary, bilateral distal femoral epiphyseal detachment is an uncommon condition that can be effectively treated through surgical intervention.
骨骺脱位和骨折在儿童和青少年中经常发生。然而，这些损伤很少累及股骨远端，双侧病例更为罕见。我们报告一例21岁男性因交通事故导致双侧股骨骨骺分离的罕见病例。事故发生5天后进行了切开复位内固定手术。患者恢复良好，3个月时骨折愈合。在20个月的随访中未观察到下肢长度差异。总之，双侧股骨远端骨骺分离是一种罕见的疾病，可通过手术干预有效治疗。
