OBJECTIVE: To present the phenomenon of growth restart lines and create awareness of the possible differential diagnoses. CLINICAL FEATURES: Two case reports outlining the presentation of growth restart lines found in the vertebrae of trampolinists. Emphasis in each case is placed on correlating the patient history with radiographic findings. INTERVENTION AND OUTCOME: In both cases a conservative chiropractic treatment plan was initiated once the differential diagnoses could be ruled out. CONCLUSION: Although the range of etiologies of growth restart lines is extensive, these case reports illustrate the importance of a comprehensive case history when presented with the radiographic finding of growth restart lines.
