title: [Complete traumatic separation of the distal humeral epiphysis in a battered child].
abstract: Complete traumatic separation of the distal humeral epiphysis is a rare finding in children, and is usually seen in the battered child. An 11-month-old girl with a complete traumatic separation is described. The family pathology was diagnosed and proper social and legal steps were taken after the only clue, the fracture, was properly interpreted.
