title: [Treatment of progressive axial deformities in children by surgical measures of the growth plate].
abstract: Report of the results of 4 surgically treated epiphyseal injuries with progressing deformities in the lower extremities (3 injuries type V, 1 epiphyseal fracture type IV according to Salter and Harris). Our Surgical procedure consisted in a resection of the posttraumatic transphyseal bony bridge with a following interposition of a silastic block to prevent again transphyseal blocking. The indications for such a surgical procedure is explained possibilities leading to failures are discussed. The results of our experimental studies being the basis for such operations are reported.
