We studied the end results following fracture-separations of the epiphyseal plates in fourteen patients. The average follow-up was three years and eleven months. The sites of lesions were classified thus; four phalanges, four distal ends of radius, four capitellums of humerus and one distal end of femur. No patient complained of any severe disadvantage in daily activities. In our study, we concluded that the prognosis was good for those patients on whom an accurate reduction was performed within a few days following injury, but that delayed reduction led to a poorer prognosis.
