    Infantile Blount's disease treated with osteotomy can lead to knee symptoms and degenerative changes years later. Early surgical intervention is crucial to prevent long-term joint issues and poor outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Pediatric Orthopedics
    • Sports Medicine

    Background:

    • Infantile Blount's disease is a growth disorder affecting the proximal tibia.
    • Delayed treatment can lead to progressive deformity and joint incongruity.
    • Osteotomy is a common surgical intervention for this condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term outcomes of infantile Blount's disease treated with osteotomy.
    • To assess the correlation between early treatment and late-stage degenerative changes.
    • To identify factors predicting poor outcomes in patients with infantile Blount's disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of seventeen to twenty-five-year-old patients with infantile Blount's disease.
    • Evaluation of nineteen limbs treated with initial osteotomy at a mean of twelve years post-surgery.

  • Clinical assessment for symptomatic knees and arthroscopic/arthrotomic evaluation for degenerative changes.

    • Main Results:

    • Twelve of nineteen knees were symptomatic at long-term follow-up.
    • Eight symptomatic knees exhibited early degenerative changes.
    • A direct correlation was observed between symptom severity and proximal tibial involvement.
    • Evidence suggests physeal damage is linked to poor long-term outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Early osteotomy for infantile Blount's disease is essential before permanent physeal damage occurs.
    • Prompt surgical intervention can mitigate the risk of future degenerative joint disease.
    • Long-term monitoring is recommended for patients treated for infantile Blount's disease.
