Abstract
Free fat graft interposition has been used extensively in management of physeal injuries with established growth disturbances. The use of this technique as part of the management of acute physeal injuries has not been reported. Here we report on its application in acute physeal injuries, where it has prevented the formation of an anticipated physeal arrest.
