No evidence of intra-articular knee deformity following growth arrest through temporary epiphysiodesis – a retrospective study of 81 patients
Statistically relevant changes in bony morphology after tED were only observed in the distal femur. However, there was no evidence of intra-articular knee deformities as all measured femoral and tibial parameters remained within physiological margins and were considered clinically inconsequential. Nevertheless, there was a considerable number of patients with secondary coronal malalignment among both implant groups, necessitating further elucidation.
