The Efficacy of Percutaneous Lateral Hemiepiphysiodesis on Angular Correction in Idiopathic Adolescent Genu Varum.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the excellent cosmetic outcome of percutaneous lateral hemiepiphysiodesis on the proximal lateral tibia in adolescent idiopathic genu varum, the effect was limited in most cases. For optimum results, surgery a few months earlier is recommended, rather than at the calculated operation time. PMID: 26929805 [PubMed - in process]
