Antegrade intramedullary femoral lengthening and distal temporary hemiepiphysiodesis for combined correction of leg length discrepancy and coronal angular deformity in skeletally immature patients

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Andrea Laufer and collaborators from the Pediatric, Deformity and Foot Surgery, Muenster University Hospital, Muenster, Germany have published the research work: Antegrade Intramedullary Femoral Lengthening and Distal Temporary Hemiepiphysiodesis for Combined Correction of Leg Length Discrepancy and Coronal Angular Deformity in Skeletally Immature Patients, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: In the present study, we, hence, investigated the results of the correction of LLD and coronal angular deformities through a combination of proximal femoral distraction osteogenesis using an intramedullary lengthening nail and temporary HED at the distal femur and/or proximal tibia.
  • how . . .
