Resumen (ES)

We report a case of Obstetric Epiphysiolysis of the Proximal Tibia Epiphysis. The diagnosis is difficult and usually delayed because it is a rare obstetric injury and the radiological signs are scanty. The traumatic mechanism involved appears to be related to a certain "in utero" position and the manipulation of the legs during delivery. Although slight deformations are frecuent, these do not induce functional consequences and improve by its self with growth.
