title: [Pure epiphyseal detachment of the upper end of the femur in a young child: apropos of 2 cases].
abstract: Pure epiphysial detachment following injury to upper end of femur in two 2 year-old children was treated orthopedically by manual reduction under general anesthesia and plaster immobilization. Follow up radiographic and scintigraphic examinations showed favorable results with absence of necrosis after 10 and 17 months respectively. In contrast, long term surveillance will be necessary because of the rapid appearance of coxa magna.
