Description
Multiple epiphyseal separation in battered baby syndrome is a rare occurrence. We report epiphyseal separations of proximal tibia and distal humerus along with femoral shaft fracture in a child of two and half years of age. In the course of clinical, laboratory, and radiological examinations, the child was diagnosed to be a case of battered baby syndrome. The child was treated and isolated from the mother, who was the culprit for battering the child. We believe, in any epiphyseal injury below 3 years of age, particularly when the distal humerus physis is involved, diagnosis of child abuse should be considered as an etiology.
