Summary

The study aims to assess the effectiveness of hemiephysiodesis using eight plates in correction of fixed knee flexion deformities in children.

Conditions

  • Knee Deformity

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Eight plate hemiepiphysiodesis

Patient is positioned in a classic supine position. Under fluoroscopic guidance and tourniquet hemostasis, the distal femoral physis is identified. Two 3-cm incisions are made, one on either side of the patella, centred at the level of the physis. The capsule and synovium are opened to visualize the sulcus and place the plates just outside the articular portion of the joint surface, medially and laterally. Care is taken not to damage the periosteum and a needle is inserted into the physis. The 8-plate, which has a central hole, is slipped over the needle and screws inserted. After wound closure, a soft dressing is used, and the patient is allowed to ambulate as tolerated.
