Role of Rotational Guided Growth in Management of Increased Femoral Anteversion

Overview

Efficacy of guided growth in coronal plane deformity correction and limb length discrepancy has been well-established. Recently, studies have explored the validity of guided growth in correction of rotational deformity through a modified method of application. This concept has been validated in animal studies, biomechanical studies and two limited human case series through different methods. This study evaluates the efficacy of rotational guided growth in management of increased femoral anteversion using three different constructs.

The purpose of this study is: 1. Evaluate the efficacy of different constructs in correcting increased femoral anteversion clinically and radiographically. 2. Asses possible complications of this new concept including LLD, undesired coronal, sagittal plane deformity and stiffness.
