[As to the traumatic etiology of the Freiberg-Köhler's epiphyseonecrosis (author's transl)].
There is demonstrated the case of a Freiberg-Köhler's epiphyseonecrosis developing without any doubt after a direct massive contusion of the forefoot by hit against the edge of a swimmingpool. While the X-ray from the date of accident only showed a tiny osseus avulsion fracture out of the base of the proximal phalanx II--in spite of the immediately taken accurate therapeutical provisions (by fixation with plaster and later on paviment dressing)--there took place a massive epiphyseonecrosis of the capitulum II within only three months.--The etiology of the necrosis--direct trauma of the nutritive arteries passing through the collateral ligaments--is discussed. There is given a reference to the particular problems arising by critical examination of similar cases for instance at medical reports.
