Abstract

Chondrocytes of the digital epiphyses, physes, and articular cartilage are particularly susceptible to the direct lethal effects of extremely low temperatures. We have treated a 13-year-old patient with chondral necrosis of the proximal interphalangeal joint following cryotherapy. Focal contact with the probe tip caused isolated, asymmetric physeal destruction.
