RSA Study on the Behaviour of the Growth Plate During and After Temporary Hemi-epiphysiodesis and Epiphysiodesis

Norway10 participantsStarted 2017-01

Plain-language 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.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * 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 Criteria: * Children with axial deviations and pathological physis
