XXXX and epiphysiodesis: review of 96 cases.

@entity1 @entity3656 @entity281 @entity86 @entity1167 @entity85
A retrospective analysis of 96 @entity1 who underwent an epiphysiodesis procedure for @entity3656 was performed. Forty @entity1 were identified who had an open Phemister-type epiphysiodesis. Fifty-six @entity1 underwent a percutaneous epiphysiodesis procedure. All @entity1 ' medical records and radiographs were reviewed for complications. No @entity85 or epiphysiodesis failures occurred in the open group; however, one @entity281 requiring intravenous antibiotics and serial surgical debridement was successfully treated. Five complications occurred in the percutaneous group. The complications included two superficial infections, two failures of @entity1167 , and one @entity86 . The occurrence of complications in the two groups was not statistically significant. Regular follow-up and radiographic evaluation of @entity1 who have undergone a percutaneous epiphysiodesis is essential. Failure of @entity1167 and @entity85 are rare in this @entity1 population, but they can occur.
