Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive implantation figure-ofeight steel plate in treatment of children with lower limb angular deformity caused by a variety of reasons.Methods The clinical data of 35 lower limb angular deformity children who treated with minimally invasive implantation figure-of-eight steel plate half epiphyseal plate block method were retrospectively analyzed.During pre-operation and post-operation,the X-ray of both lower limb was shoot,the mechanical axis of lower limb and femoral tibial angle (FTA) were measured,and the clinical efficacy combining clinical results was assessed.Results All the children were completed the follow-up,the average follow-up was 15 (13-20)months.The 35 children with lower limb angular deformity achieved satisfactory correction and restored normal the mechanical axis of lower limb.All children were normal,and no complications of epiphyseal plate injury were found,except 1 child appeared incision fat liquefied and healed after secondary wound debridement and suture.Conclusions Minimally invasive implantation figure-of-eight steel plate half epiphyseal plate block method in treatment of the children with lower limb angular deformity is simple,cheap,effective,needless osteotomy,well tolerated and with less complications.It is an easily learned technique for osteology surgeons and to be worth generalization at clinical especially those hospitals without establishing special department of children' s osteology.
