OBJECTIVE To introduce the technique of epiphysiolysis and epiphysis grafting in the treatment of early partial closure of the epiphysial plate in children, and evaluate its effect. METHODS Retrospective study was performed in 10 cases of cubitus varus and valgus, or genu varum and valgum due to early partial closure of the epiphysial plate, 6 cases received simple cuneiform osteotomy, and 4 cases received epiphysioloysis and epiphysis grafting. RESULTS Clinical outcoming after 6-month to 5-year’s follow-up showed 1 case deformity of recurrence and 2 cases of non-isometric limb after simple osteotomy, while no recurrence and isometric limb after epiphysiolysis and epiphysis grafting. CONCLUSION
Epiphysiolysis and epiphysis grafting may effectively prevent the recurrence of postoperative deformity, and restore the longitudinal growth of limb.
