[Partial traumatic epiphysiodesis of the lower end of the tibia in children.  Treatment with disepiphysiodesis].
The author has treated 20 cases of secondary varus deformity of the tibia after ankle traumas in children.  These deformities were related to a partial premature epiphyseal closure, the plate being mashed at the time of the trauma.  These cases were usually treated by corrective osteotomy.  In two cases an attempt was made at resecting the bone briding the plate and filling the defect by methyl-metacrylate.  The results appeared to be encouraging.
