[Radiologic diagnosis of injuries of the epiphyses in childhood (author's transl)].

The future of epi- and metaphyseal fractures depends on exact radiologic diagnosis. This will always have to show whether the growthzone has been damaged. This can be clearly indicated by classification of slipped epiphyses and fractures (Aitken I-III). The pathophysiology of epiphyseal injuries, possible classifications and general and special radiology of these injuries are discussed.
