Özet
Growth Hormone (GH) shows its main effect on bones and muscle tissues. There are reports of orthopaedic complications including carpal tunnel syndrome, Legg-Calve-Perthe’s disease, scoliosis, and slipped capital femoral epiphysis with GH use in the literature, except for calcaneal apophysitis (Sever’s disease). We hereby present the case of a 13-year-old male who was treated with GH for GH deficiency and developed Sever’s disease in the first year of treatment.
