Autocorrection of inadvertently oblique tension band plates in guided growth: a torsional safety analysis

Inadvertent obliquity of tension band plates and their subsequent autocorrection is a clinically benign phenomenon. It effectively achieves the desired coronal correction without inducing adverse torsional or sagittal plane deformities. This study provides robust, evidence-based reassurance for surgeons that guided growth remains a safe and effective procedure despite this common surgical variance.
