The effect of metaphyseal holes and interposition material on the longitudinal growth stimulation of long bones in a rabbit model
Creating a metaphyseal hole 10 mm distal to the physis of the proximal tibia can significantly stimulate longitudinal growth and induce tibia valga in rabbits; however, the effect varies depending on the type of interposition material. Notably, overgrowth was significant only in the group with holes filled with bone wax. Based on this study, the location of the metaphyseal hole during ACL reconstruction or physeal bar excision could be optimized.
