RSA Study on the Behaviour of the Growth Plate During and After Temporary Hemi-epiphysiodesis and Epiphysiodesis
Behaviour of the Growth Plate in Patients Operated With Either Permanent or Temporary Hemi-epiphysiodesis or Epiphysiodesis Through by the Use of Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA)
Oslo University Hospital
10 participants
Jan 1, 2017
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
By using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) we will be able to study growth during and after temporary epiphysiodesis and with great accuracy be able to detect asymmetric growth following this procedure. By using the same method we also want to analyse patients with axial deviations operated with guided growth (tension band plating) to study the growth during and after the procedure and be able to set the correct timing for removal of the implant.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Children with idiopathic axial deviations in the lower extremities
- Children with limb length discrepancys where timing of epiphysiodesis is difficult because of a big discrepancy in skeletal age and chronological age
Exclusion Criteria1
- Children with axial deviations and pathological physis
