The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of distal femoral physeal injury inadolescence after various treatment 5 which had been performed for the last 4 years. This studyconsisted of 9 distal femoral physeal fractures from August 1993 to May 1996. Average lengthof follow up was 21 months. We evaluated the functional status such as range of motion,instability, pain and sports activity. They showed no abnormalities. We also assessed the lateraldistal femoral angle, mechanical axis deviation, femorotibial angle and leg length discrepancyusing orthoradiogram. 4 Cases showed the lateral distal femoral angle differences(more than5), 7 cases showed the mechanical axis differences(average : 11.8mm), 6 cases showed theremorotibial angle differences(average : 5.8) and 6 cases showed the leg lengthdiscrepancy(average : 4.6mm). So we carefully concluded that the adequacy of the reduction isthe most important prognostic factor and there are some problems in radiological angledifference despite the anatomical reduction.
