The remodeling potential of a long bone to correct posttraumatic angular
deformities during infancy is widely
recognized1-5;
however, no consensus has yet been reached as to the remodeling potential of a
long bone to correct rotational
deformities4,6,7.
To the best of our knowledge, the present report is the first to document the
long-term radiographic and functional follow-up of a patient who had proximal
humeral epiphysiolysis with marked rotational deformity due to birth trauma.
Our patient was informed that data concerning the case would be submitted for
publication.
