Background: The purpose of this study is to report outcomes of transphyseal screw hemi-epiphysiodesis at the medial malleolus for the treatment of valgus ankle deformity.
Methods: An institutional review board-approved retrospective review was done of 24 patient charts. Lateral distal tibial angle (LDTA) was measured preoperatively and at final follow-up.
Results: The average change in LDTA was 8.3 degrees (SD 4.9 degrees; range 0-19 degrees). The average rate of correction was 0.4 degrees per month (SD 0.3; range 0-1.4).
Conclusion: Medial malleolar transphyseal screw hemiepiphysiodesis is a simple, effective, and safe treatment for valgus ankle deformity in skeletally immature children.
Level Of Evidence: Level IV, case series.

: To investigate postoperative courses after hemi-percutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws (PETS) for genu varum. We especially focused on the degree of skeletal maturation that results in undercorrection. : We identified patients with idiopathic genu varum treated with hemi-PETS at the proximal tibia and followed-up to the completion of skeletal maturation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates distal tibial valgus deformity in children, which can resemble hindfoot valgus, and evaluates the effectiveness of a specific correction method called medial percutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws (PETS).
- It aims to analyze correction rates based on different underlying conditions, age at treatment, severity of the deformity, and the association with other foot deformities.
- Results from a retrospective study of 104 children indicate variable correction rates, averaging 0.45° per month, influenced by age, initial deformity, and treatment duration, with a significant prevalence of associated valgus foot deformities (86.4%).
Transphyseal Hemiepiphysiodesis: Is it Truly Reversible?

Background: Although numerous studies reported the efficacy of percutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws (PETS) in correcting angular knee deformities, many surgeons refrained from using it in younger children because of a lack of objective evidence of reversibility. Our hypothesis is that PETS is both truly reversible and effective.
Methods: Twenty-one patients aged 8 to 13 years (36 lower limbs LL) with coronal plane knee deformity were enrolled into this prospective case series from January 2021 to September 2023.

A Quarter horse filly was evaluated for a two-week old wound of the right hind cannon bone after the mare stepped on her. A sequestrum was noted radiographically and was surgically debrided. After continued follow-up a left hind varus deformity was noted and was corrected with a lateral transphyseal screw in the distal left tibia.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate factors determining the final outcomes of hemipercutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screw (PETS) for the genu valgum, especially focusing on postoperative courses after screw removal.
Methods: Fifty-five patients with idiopathic genu valgum treated with hemi-PETS were included. The mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA) and medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) were measured to calculate the degree of correction and rebound.
