Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is relatively uncommon in children, and skeletal deformities due to it are even rarer in this age group. Less than 20 such cases have been reported in the English literature. We describe a case series of three patients who presented with genu valgum deformity and were found to have primary hyperparathyroidism on further evaluation.

Purpose Of The Study: Temporary hemiepiphyseodesis using figure-eight plates is currently one of the main surgical techniques to correct axial deformities of lower limbs in paediatric patients. Comprehensive analysis, correct indication and monitoring of treatment are the basic prerequisites for successful therapy. The aim of the study was to analyse parameters that could become an alternative to standard parameters used nowadays, namely the inserted screw angle (SA), and a new parameter - condylar ratio (CR).

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined the effectiveness of hemi-epiphysiodesis in treating adolescents with idiopathic genu varum and valgum, focusing on the impact of the distal femur and proximal tibia.
  • Results showed that in the varus group, the proximal tibia contributed significantly to the deformity, while in the valgus group, both the distal femur and the proximal tibia played roles, with distal femur being more prominent.
  • The findings highlight the need for tailored surgical planning based on the specific contributions of these bone areas to effectively address each condition.
