Ultrasonic Diagnosis of the Distal Femoral Epiphysiolysis in a Newborn Child
Abstract
Diagnosis of the epifisiolysis in newborns is extremely difficult due to the low information of the traditional X-ray study because ossification of the epiphysis does not occur. This publication presents our own observation of the distal epiphysiolysis of the femur in an extremely prenature baby, shows the possibilities of the ultrasound method of examination in the visualization of the lesion. For compare, the results of ultrasound for distal metaepiphyseal osteomyelitis of the femur in a newborn are presented.
