A 10-month-old boy diagnosed with scurvy experienced epiphyseal displacement in his distal femur and proximal tibia. Treatment proceeded without surgical correction of these bone displacements.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Orthopedics
  • Nutritional Deficiencies

Background:

  • Scurvy, a condition caused by Vitamin C deficiency, can manifest with skeletal abnormalities in infants.
  • Epiphyseal displacement is a serious skeletal injury that requires careful management in pediatric cases.

Observation:

  • A 10-month-old male infant presented with clinical signs and symptoms consistent with scurvy.
  • Radiographic evaluation revealed bilateral distal femoral and right proximal tibial epiphyseal displacement.

Findings:

  • The infant's scurvy was managed medically.
  • Conservative management was chosen, and the epiphyseal displacements were not surgically reduced.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for significant skeletal manifestations in infantile scurvy.

  • It presents a clinical scenario where non-operative management of epiphyseal displacement in the context of scurvy was undertaken.
  • Further observation is needed to assess long-term orthopedic outcomes following this conservative approach.
