The undulating pattern of the distal femur is well recognized. Radiographs do not always represent the full extent of the undulations. With recent increasing use of guided growth technique in the distal femur, it is important to define safe zones for screw placement. We performed an anatomical study on 26 cadaveric distal femoral epiphyses, ages 3–18 years. High resolution three-dimensional surface scans were obtained with a laser scanner, and were analyzed to determine the absolute height of the central physeal ridge, and the central physeal ridge height with respect to the highest points medially and laterally.Purpose
