Percutaneous epiphysiodesis offers a minimally invasive surgical option compared to open procedures. This image-guided technique is simple, reliable, and yields better cosmetic outcomes with reduced complications.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Minimally invasive procedures

Background:

  • Traditional open epiphysiodesis can lead to significant morbidity and less desirable cosmetic results.
  • There is a need for improved surgical techniques in pediatric orthopedic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of percutaneous epiphysiodesis.
  • To compare percutaneous epiphysiodesis with traditional open surgical methods.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous epiphysiodesis performed under image intensification guidance.
  • Assessment of procedure simplicity, reliability, morbidity, and cosmetic outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The percutaneous approach is technically straightforward and dependable.
