Abstract
Objective:
To study the effect of local growth in long bones of the rabbits following two different epiphyseal-stimulating procedures.
Methods:
These were osteotomy in the metaphysis near the proximal tibial epiphyseal plate and hemicirecumferential periosteal excision on the proximal tibial epiphysis. Tibia roentgenography, tetracycline labelling, histological method and electron microscopy were used.
Results:
The local stimulating effect following hemi-circumferential periosteal excision was more evident than following osteotomy.
Conclusion:
The procedure of periosteal excision could be good for the treatment of children knee' deformity.
