Summary: For late-onset tibia vara, the success of growth modulation varies. Parameters such as deformity severity, skeletal maturity, and body weight can predict the odds of a successful outcome.

Summary: Angular deformity correction with tension band plating is less successful in early-onset tibia vara (EOTV) than in other conditions. This study found that perioperative factors can predict the success of lateral tibial tension band plating (LTTBP) in patients with EOTV.

Summary: Temporary hemiepiphysiodesis (HEPD) offers great potential for correction of the mechanical axis and frontal knee joint line in idiopathic coronal plane deformities. An unphysiological change of the frontal knee joint line is associated with a high risk of recurrent angular deformities.

Summary: Langenskiold classification, widely used in Orthopaedic studies, has moderate inter-rater reliability. Variability is most prominent at stages 2, 3, and 4, leading to different treatment approaches. The use of MRI does not significantly improve its reliability. Regrouping the stages can enhance inter-rater reliability.

Summary: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of hemiepiphysiodesis in correcting coronal plane deformities in children with achondroplasia. The results show that hemiepiphysiodesis can successfully correct these deformities without the need for osteotomy.

Summary: Blount's disease is a rare developmental disorder of children characterized by progressive bowing of lower limbs, with possible predisposing factors such as obesity, early walking, and race. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential as the disease process is reversible in early stages.

Summary: This study compared the use of a new flexible staple with traditional two-hole plates and Blount staples for guided growth in children and adolescents with angular deformities in long bones. The results showed that the flexible staple was effective in correcting the deformities, with a faster treatment speed and fewer implant-associated complications. Further comparative studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of 3-hole 3.5 mm reconstruction plates in tension-band temporary hemiepiphysiodesis for correcting idiopathic knee coronal angular deformities. It was found that temporary hemiepiphysiodesis using a 3-hole R-plate and two cortical screws was successful in treating idiopathic angular deformities with low complication rates.

Summary: The study describes the clinical outcomes of medial elevation osteotomy for the management of late-presenting and recurrent infantile Blount disease, with a high success rate in achieving good alignment. Obesity is associated with more severe deformity, and both obesity and residual instability increase the risk of poor alignment.

Summary: Infantile Tibia Vara often recurs after surgical correction. This study identifies risk factors for recurrence including age at surgery, preoperative Langenskiold stage, and overcorrection of less than 15 degrees of valgus.

Summary: Hemiepiphysiodesis around the knee using percutaneous transphyseal screw (PETS) is an effective and well-tolerated technique for treating adolescent tibia vara (ATV). This study reviewed the experiences of 13 patients (20 knees) who underwent lateral tibial hemiepiphysiodesis with PETS. The results showed good to excellent outcomes, with normal knee range of motion and minimal complications.
