WALTER SCOTT M.D., F.A.C.S.1

1 Orthopaedic Department of the Children's Hospital, Los Angeles

1. Scorbutic epiphysiolysis is rare in infancy.

2. Microscopic lattice fractures and the loss of the "periosteal cuff" are the factors responsible for the slipping.

3. A natural realignment of shaft and epiphysis takes place following the use of vitamin C, which leads to recovery without deformity or disability.
