“…Whether contralateral epiphysiodesis has been recommended in CPMBT, due to the lower risk of complications [3], compared to limb lengthening, aesthetical issues can raise due to the loss of body height. Moreover, recent concern has mounted regarding the potential risk of compromising the morphology of the proximal tibia, when a large, congenital LLD must be addressed [19,20]. Therefore, we suggest to reserve this treatment only for children in which the LLD% at 10-12 years is less than 10%, corresponding about 2 to 3 cm.…”

“…In our series, only one patient underwent distal tibial hemiepiphysiodesis to treat ankle valgus. Nonetheless, it is our opinion that, if at age of 10-11 years, the valgus inclination of the distal tibial articular surface persists, a medial distal tibial hemiepiphysiodesis may be performed, when sufficient growth potential is still present [18][19]. This simple procedure can effectively realign the ankle, minimizing the complications [22][23][24][25][26][27] and avoiding demanding realignment procedures (double or triple corticotomies, complex external fixation constructs) at the end of growth.…”

“…Загальна частота ускладнень станови-ла 7,0 %, з яких 4,3 % були пов'язані з функцією НЗ (гіперкорекція, неефективність блокування НЗ, фор-мування вторинних кутових деформацій). РДНК, що мала вроджений характер, малий вік дитини та значна РДНК служили факторами ризику розвитку зазначе-них ускладнень [55].…”

“…R e p o r t e d m e d i u m -a n d l o n g -t e r m complications after an epiphysiodesis include angular deformity secondary to an incomplete epiphysiodesis and under-or overcorrection. 7,26 In this regard, 75 % of experts recommended clinical and radiological follow-up every 4-6 months until the child reaches his/her adult bone age.…”
