This study introduces a novel surgical technique using a modified veterinary plate for treating coxa vara in children. This approach aims to improve hip mechanics and prevent recurrent deformities in pediatric patients.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Coxa vara is a progressive childhood hip deformity requiring surgical correction.
  • Current fixation methods lack pediatric-specific implants, leading to high rates of recurrent deformity (30-70%).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new surgical technique and implant for correcting coxa vara in children aged 5-11.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of a modified veterinary plate for osteosynthesis in pediatric coxa vara.

Main Methods:

  • A modified veterinary plate was utilized for osteosynthesis in pediatric patients.
  • Surgical technique involved correcting the valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy and ensuring adequate fixation.
  • A cohort of nine patients (12 hips) underwent the procedure.

Main Results:

  • The technique successfully normalized hip mechanics, improving motion and limb length.
  • No recurrent varus deformity was observed in the treated hips.
  • The modified plate provided stable fixation for the osteotomy.

Conclusions:

  • A modified veterinary plate offers a viable solution for pediatric coxa vara fixation.
  • This technique effectively addresses the limitations of existing implants and reduces recurrence rates.
  • Further studies are warranted to confirm long-term outcomes.
