Comparative analysis of the effects of blade plate retention versus removal on paediatric bone remodelling following proximal femoral osteotomy
These findings highlight the detrimental effects of prolonged retention due to stress shielding. Recovery in bone density after removal suggests that early removal may mitigate adverse effects and promote healthier bone adaptation, informing clinical decisions in paediatric PFO.
