Comparison of Different Bone Age Methods and Chronological Age in Prediction of Remaining Growth Around the Knee

Anne Berg Breen et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the accuracy of the Greulich and Pyle (GP) method and the Sauvegrain (SG) method in assessing bone age (BA), and found that the GP method was the most accurate in estimating remaining growth in the lower extremities.

Epiphysiodesis and hemiepiphysiodesis Physeal arrest and guided growth for the lower extremity

Madeleine Willegger et al.

Summary: Growth arrest by epiphysiodesis and growth guidance by hemiepiphysiodesis are effective surgical techniques in pediatric orthopedics, with low complication rates. They can be used to correct leg length discrepancies and deformities, and are especially commonly used in the treatment of knee deformities in children. Novel techniques for the hip and ankle are also being performed with successful outcomes.

Systematic Isolation of Key Parameters for Estimating Skeletal Maturity on Knee Radiographs

Alex Benedick et al.

Summary: This study analyzed knee radiographs of 78 children and found that the modified Roche-Wainer-Thissen (RWT) model with demographic characteristics was more accurate in predicting years from 90% final height. Through stepwise linear regression and generalized estimating equations analysis, 7 parameters were identified as the most effective in estimating skeletal maturity.

Prevalence and predictors of rebound deformity in the frontal plane A literature review

Felix Stief et al.

Summary: The literature review provides an overview of the prevalence and causes of the rebound phenomenon after correction of leg axis deformity in children and adolescents, with most studies showing limitations in study design, definition of rebound, and disclosure of risk factors. The clinical relevance of this topic is highlighted by an average rebound incidence of about 50% in studies without fundamental limitations.

Height and Extremity-Length Prediction for Healthy Children Using Age-Based Versus Peak Height Velocity Timing-Based Multipliers

James O. Sanders et al.

Summary: The study compared Paley age-based multipliers with those based on peak height velocity (PHV) timing in predicting height and limb lengths of children. The results showed that Paley method outperformed PHV method in predicting adult values before the adolescent growth spurt, while PHV-derived multipliers became superior as children entered their growth spurts.
