title: [The effect of tibial transphyseal reinforcement on the growth and response of leg tissues].
abstract: Transphyseal reinforcement of right intact tibia performed with thin steel rods in six mongrel dogs at the age of six months. Contralateral segment served as control. The leg growth and blood supply studied under the created conditions for the next six months. Radiographic, physiologic (surface thermometry, photoplethysmography), and statistical methods used for studying. The significant effect of transphyseally inserted rods on the leg longitudinal growth and blood supply has not been revealed. The changes in natural shape-formation oftibial proximal and distal meta-epiphyses observed influenced by the transphyseal rods in the experiment. In order to evaluate the tissue response and the degree of the functional activity of leg bone meta-epiphyseal zones the most informative areas considered to be the following: the area of medial malleolus in the early period of physiological growth completion, and the area of the tibial lateral condyle--at the late stage.
