title: [Tissue morphology at the site of fusion after osteotomy of the proximal end of the femur in children].
abstract: The preliminary results of histomorphologic examination of tissue harvested at the site of bone plate junction, screw and plate-blade holes as well as from the fascia and muscle around the fusion site. The samples were taken at the time of the plate removal. A cartilage resembling growth plate, callus and bony trabeculae were found in preparations examined, what may indicate proliferation around the plate. Focal necrosis implies tissue destruction. Tawny deposits positively reacting to iron detectors and inflammatory infiltration were common findings. This may prove formulation of biologically active metallic albumins.
