Q

A 10 year old girl has been referred for lower back pain. Pain is present since 6 weeks and decreases in rest, extension is painful at the lower lumbar region.

  2. At age 4 to 6 weeks, a normal alpha angle is >55°; a normal beta angle is <60°
  3. At age 6 to 12 weeks, a normal alpha angle is >60°; a normal beta angle is <55°
  4. At age 6 to 12 weeks, a normal alpha angle is >55°; a normal beta angle is <60°

Q

“Rule of thumb” can be used to determine the time of epipfysiodesis of the long leg. Six statements about this rule of thumb are:

  2. Growth stops at the lower legs in boys around 14 year.
  3. Growth stops at the lower legs in girls around 14 year.
