Stapling Versus 8plate for Correction of Genu Valgus

NCT01528553 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2012-02-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In children with excessive knock knees it may be necessary to use guided growth (small surgical procedure) so the child outgrows the condition before maturity. A new implant is on the market and the investigators compare this implant (8plate) with the old technique (staples) in a randomised setup.

The hypothesis is that the 8plate provides a faster correction rate and that this treatment is superior to stapling.
