Deformity correction during growth after partial physeal arrest.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to evaluate our treatment protocol for certain physeal injuries requiring complete epiphysiodesis of an injured physis, angular correction and lengthening with the Ilizarov method and overcorrection of length according to calculated loss of remaining growth. Five patients (age: 12 to 14 years) were operated with angular correction and lengthening in combination with complete epiphysiodesis. Angular deformities measured 12 degrees to 24 degrees and limb length discrepancies (LLD's) 15 to 60 mm. Mean overcorrection of length according to remaining growth of the affected physis was 12 mm (range: 7 to 15). All deformity parameters were fully corrected in all patients. Mechanical axis deviation (MAD) was within +/- 5 mm compared to the healthy side in 4 patients, 20 mm in one patient. Median LLD at maturity was 8 mm (range: 3 to 13). In cases of partial physeal arrest with severe symptomatic deformities, complete epiphysiodesis of the injured physis, angular correction and lengthening with the Ilizarov method with overcorrection of length according to estimated loss of remaining growth of the affected physis is a suitable method.

Growth disturbance lines after injury of the distal tibial physis. Their significance in prognosis.
We reviewed 26 fractures involving the distal physis of the tibia to identify the patterns of formation and displacement of the subsequent growth disturbance lines. Twenty-one patients showed a regular "normal" pattern of line and healed with no deformity. Three patients had medical physeal arrest revealed by abnormal lines. Two other cases had a minor central physeal arrest without subsequent ...
متن کاملDistal tibial physeal arrest after meningococcal septicaemia: management and outcome in seven ankles.
Survivors of infantile meningococcal septicaemia often develop progressive skeletal deformity as a result of physeal damage at many sites, particularly in the lower limb. Distal tibial physeal arrest typically occurs with sparing of the distal fibular physis leading to a rapidly progressive varus deformity. There have been reports of isolated cases of this deformity, but to our knowledge there ...
متن کاملAngular deformity of the ankle with sparing of the distal fibula following meningococcal septicaemia: a case series involving 14 ankles in ten children.
Progressive angular deformity of an extremity due to differential physeal arrest is the most common late orthopaedic sequela following meningococcal septicaemia in childhood. A total of ten patients (14 ankles) with distal tibial physeal arrest as a consequence of meningococcal septicaemia have been reviewed. Radiological analysis of their ankles has demonstrated a distinct pattern of deformity...

Few in vivo studies had previously been attempted in reaffirming the in vitro data in current literature. This study evaluated the ability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from bone marrow, periosteum and fat to treat partial growth arrest in immature New Zealand white (NZW) rabbits. A physeal arrest model in an immature rabbit was created. The bony bridge was excised 3 weeks later, an...
متن کامل[Osseous bridge after physeal-injury to the distal tibia with spontaneous resolution].
The risk of osseous bridge development after certain types of physeal injury is well established. Once formed, the bridge continues to grow and results in a progressive deformity. The authors present an unusual case of a five-year-old girl who had a Salter-Harris Type-IV fracture of the distal tibial epiphyseal plate, with subsequent osseous bridge formation and deformity development. The bridg...
