Abstract
in English, German

Presentation of a 16-year-old male patient due to a cycling accident while mountain biking 14 days after primary treatment after open epiphyseal injury. Metaphyseal intraosseous stones within the anatomically reduced distal radius fracture were misinterpreted as an incidental osteoma.

Vorstellung eines 16-jährigen Patienten nach Fahrradsturz beim Mountainbiken 14 Tage nach primärer Versorgung nach offener Epiphysenverletzung. Metaphysär intraossär liegende Steine wurden bei anatomischer Reposition der Fraktur als nebenbefundliches Osteom fehlinterpretiert.

Keywords: Differential diagnosis; Epiphyseal joint injury; Mountain bike; Open fracture; Sport injury.
