Background: Inferior scapular notching following reverse shoulder arthroplasty is due to
mechanical impingement and, in some studies, has been associated with poorer functional …

Background: Among the numerous existing epiphysiodesis procedures, the eight-plate–
guided growth technique, initially described for angular deformities correction, has …

Background and purposes The multiplier method was introduced by Paley to calculate the
timing for temporary hemiepiphysiodesis. However, this method has not been verified in …

Background: Some children have persistent pain and instability following inversion injuries
of the ankle. Radiographs may reveal a small osseous fragment distal to the lateral …

Purpose Little data is available on the efficiency of different implants for epiphysiodesis. The
purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy between plates and staples in decreasing …

Results: A total of 17 patients (27 knees) were evaluated. Twenty-two knees (81.5%)
achieved complete correction of the deformity. The median age was 4.0 (interquartile range …

The optimal timing for performing growth modulation and the choice of implants continues to
be investigated. Lee et al. compared five different methods used to calculate the exact timing …

Introduction: Angular deformities of the lower limbs are common during childhood. The
concept of guided growth using a tension band plate is a breakthrough in the surgical …

Limb-Length Discrepancy The incidence of abdominal neoplasms was 10%(one of ten) in
children with syndromic hemihypertrophy and 1.2%(three of 250) in those with isolated …
