Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two surgical techniques, Tension Band Plate (TBP) and Percutaneous Epiphysiodesis by Transphyseal Screw (PETS), in children with coronal angular knee deformities.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Which technique provides better correction of coronal knee deformities?
* Are there differences in complication rates or recovery times between TBP and PETS?

Participants will:

* Undergo either TBP or PETS surgery for knee deformity correction.
* Attend follow-up visits for radiographic and clinical evaluations.

Researchers will compare TBP and PETS groups to see if one method leads to better deformity correction and fewer complications.

Conditions

  • Epiphysiodesis
  • Bone Malalignment
  • Lower Extremity Deformities, Congenital
  • Genu Varum
  • Genu Valgum

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Tension Band Plate (TBP) Surgery

A guided growth procedure in which a non-locking 8-plate is placed extraperiosteally across the physis (growth plate) with two screws, one in the epiphysis and one in the metaphysis. This allows for gradual correction of coronal angular deformities without causing permanent growth arrest.

PROCEDURE

Percutaneous Epiphysiodesis by Transphyseal Screw (PETS) Surgery

A minimally invasive procedure in which a partially threaded cannulated screw is inserted across the growth plate (transphyseal) to slow growth on one side of the bone. This technique allows for gradual correction of genu valgum and genu varum.
