Surgical outcome of angular deformity correction of lower limbs in rickets: a cross-sectional study.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the functional and radiological outcomes following both guided growth surgery (GGS) and acute corrective osteotomy (ACO) correction of angular deformities in children with rickets.

Methods: A total of 8 and 7 children who had gradual GGS and ACO correction, respectively, for angular deformities due to rickets from 2002 to 2022 were recalled for follow-up. Demographic data, types of rickets, data on pharmacological treatment, biochemical parameters, recurrence of angular deformity and postoperative complications were obtained from the medical records.
