Hemiepiphysiodesis by Eight Plate Versus Osteotomy in the Management of Pediatric Coronal Knee Deformities

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Hemiepiphysiodesis: 8 plate

Eight-Plates first described by Stevens are simple to use: fewer complications in terms of implant loosening and fracture can be expected.Good results as well as low rebound and complication rates have been recorded

Hemiepiphysiodesis by eight Plate: Extraperiosteal eight plate insertion

Study summary

Coronal angular deformities of lower limb in children are a common finding in pediatric orthopedic surgery.These angular deformities can be idiopathic in origin, or they can emerge secondary to congenital and acquired abnormalities. Persistent coronal plane deformities around knee (genu varum/valgum) could lead to meniscal tears, collateral ligament laxity, cartilage degeneration, and early osteoarthritis due to gradual mechanical axis disruption

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Comparative Study Between Growth Guided Correction By ( 8 Plate ) and Corrective Osteoclasis in Management of Coronal Deformity of Lower Limb in Children — 1 year
