XXXX : a retrospective review and recommendations for treatment.

@entity1 @entity85 @entity5249
Thirty-two @entity1 treated for @entity5249 were retrospectively reviewed. The results of treatment were assessed by clinical and radiographic parameters and arbitrarily classified good, fair, or poor. Five @entity1 were definitively treated with braces; five extremities were rated good and one poor. Twelve @entity1 were treated with a proximal tibial osteotomy performed before their fifth birthday. Nineteen extremities were rated good, one fair, and three poor. Fifteen @entity1 had their initial surgical procedure after the fifth birthday. Eight extremities were rated good, six fair, and seven poor. Recurrence of the @entity85 secondary to an unsuspected medial bony physeal bar occurred in four @entity1 . Resection of this bony bridge concomitant with a varus correcting osteotomy may be indicated. For severe @entity85 in older @entity1 , several different salvage procedures were used.
