"Pre-operative MRI can be used to detect physeal bone bars."

"Subtypes"
"There are infantile, juvenile and adolescent forms. The infantile type is 5x more frequent than the others and is seen particularly in early walkers. It appears to be the result of abnormal compressive forces inhibiting growth at the medial growth plate and not from osteonecrosis."
"There is no recognised inheritance pattern."

"The tibial shaft is in the varus position, and the epiphysis is wedge-shaped, fragmented or can appear absent. The adjacent metaphysis is also depressed and has a beak-like protuberance of rarified bone orientated medially. This causes the metaphyseal-diaphyseal angle of Drennan to increase (typically more than 11º). The lateral cortical wall of the upper tibial metaphysis remains notably straight."
