| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Introduction: Studies have shown that 2-hole reconstruction plates can be used effectively as tension band plates for temporary hemiepiphysiodesis. However, limited data is available regarding the effectiveness of such plates in terms of complete correction rates. This study was aimed to find out the prevalence of complete correction following temporary hemiepiphysiodesis using 2-hole reconstruction plates among skeletally immature patients with angular deformities around knees. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among skeletally immature patients with angular deformities around knees undergoing temporary hemiepiphysiodesis after getting approval from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: B&BIRC-23-05). The data were collected between 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2018. All skeletally immature patients with angular deformities around knees undergoing temporary hemiepiphysiodesis using 2-hole reconstruction plates were included. Patients who required additional procedures or implants for deformity correction and those who did not provide consent were excluded. Convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated. Results: Among 102 patients, 66 (64.70%) patients achieved complete correction (59.97-69.43 at 95% Confidence Interval). Mean age of the patients was 8.21±3.11 years and 43 (65.15%) were males and 23 (34.84%) were females. Conclusions: The prevalence of complete correction following temporary hemiepiphysiodesis using 2-hole reconstruction plate among skeletally immature patients with angular deformities around knees was lower than that reported in other international studies. | |
