Distractional hemi-epiphysiolysis of the wrist. Presentation of a case and the surgical method used.

Abstract
It is the purpose of this study to illustrate the possibility of correcting angular deformities of the wrist during growth by means of asymmetrical epiphyseal distraction (distractional hemi-epiphysiolysis), using the Monticelli-Spinelli external fixator. The authors present and discuss some problems related to this method due to the rarity of its clinical application to the upper limb, and to the wrist in particular.
