About this trial
By using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) we will be able to study growth during and after temporary epiphysiodesis and with great accuracy be able to detect asymmetric growth following this procedure.
By using the same method we also want to analyse patients with axial deviations operated with guided growth (tension band plating) to study the growth during and after the procedure and be able to set the correct timing for removal of the implant.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Children with idiopathic axial deviations in the lower extremities
Children with limb length discrepancys where timing of epiphysiodesis is difficult because of a big discrepancy in skeletal age and chronological age
Disqualifiers
Children with axial deviations and pathological physis
Trial population
Children with growth remaining and limb length discrepancy or axial deviations in the lower extremity
