Evaluating torsional deformity in children after knee correction surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the residual torsional deformity in children with genu varum following the correction of coronal plane deformities using an 8 plate hemi epiphysiodesis technique. The research focuses on understanding how effective this less invasive surgical method is in addressing both angular and torsional deformities around the knee. By measuring the torsional deformity after the surgical intervention, the study aims to fill a gap in existing literature regarding the outcomes of this procedure. The study includes skeletally immature patients aged between 2.5 and 12 years who present with genu varum, either unilaterally or bilaterally.
