The prevalence of, and risk factors for distal femoral cortical irregularity in the adolescent population
Female sex and younger age were risk factors for development of DFCI. There was no statistically significant association between mechanism of injury and developing a DFCI. Further research is required to establish its prevalence in those who are asymptomatic and why younger adolescent females are more likely to experience DFCI.
