Tension band plating in growth modulation : A review of current evidences.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tension band plating (TBF) has been pitted as the best method for correcting the angular deformities and limb length discrepancies (LLD) in growing children. In this review we examined the superiority of the tension band plating over other methods of growth modulation, in terms of safety and efficacy. As per the current literature, in angular deformities TBP has similar correction rates with lesser complications. However in LLD the results are less promising.

Hemiepiphysiodesis: similar treatment time for tension-band plating and for stapling
BACKGROUND In children with angulating deformities of the lower limbs, hemiepiphysiodesis can be used to guide growth to achieve better alignment at skeletal maturity. Traditionally, this has been performed with staples. The tension-band plating technique is new and it has been advocated because it is believed to reduce the risk of premature closure of the growth plate compared to stapling. The...
متن کاملTension band plating of a nonunion anterior tibial stress fracture in an athlete.
The authors present a rare technique of tension band plating of the anterior tibia in the setting of a nonunion stress fracture. Surgical management with an intramedullary nail is a viable and proven option for treating such injuries. However, in treating elite athletes, legitimate concerns exist regarding the surgical disruption of the extensor mechanism and the risk of anterior knee pain asso...
متن کاملGuided growth: mechanism and reversibility of modulation
In paediatric orthopaedics, deformities and discrepancies in length of bones are key problems that commonly need to be addressed in daily practice. An understanding of the physiology behind developing bones is crucial for planning treatment. Modulation of the growing bone can be performed in a number of ways. Here, we discuss the principles and mechanisms behind the techniques. Historically, th...
متن کاملDoes physical therapy prevent post-operative delay in return of function following tension-band plating?
PURPOSE The clinical outcomes and complications of tension-band plating have been well documented, and commonly include a post-operative delay in return of function. We performed a retrospective comparison study to evaluate the capacity of immediate post-operative physical therapy to prevent this post-operative delay in return of function. METHODS Sixty-seven consecutive growth-deformity pati...
متن کاملModulation Response and Relative Intensity Noise Spectra in Quantum Cascade Lasers
Static properties, relatively intensity noise and intensity modulation response in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) studied theoretically in this paper. The present rate equations model consists of three equations for the electrons density in the conduction band and one equation for photons density in cavity length. Two equations were derived to calculate the noise and modulation response. Calcula...
