Introduction and importance
Trochlear AVN is a very rare entity with only a limited number of cases being reported.
Case presentation
Our case is interesting as it presents a case of an incidentally found bilateral trochlear AVN in a 12 year-old child when he presented with an undisplaced right supracondylar fracture.
Clinical discussion
It is highly likely that an unknown underlying predisposing factor, possibly recurrent microtrauma, was responsible for the bilateral occurrence.
Conclusion
We recommend further research to identify other etiological and predisposing factors, as the etiological factors still remain unclear, despite the available literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
