Management of Genu Varum/Valgum in Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome: A Report of Two Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe two cases of knee deformity in SDS patients surgically treated. In case n.1, because of a severe deformity, an osteotomy of the distal femur was performed by removing a lateral wedge and stabilizing with a staple, plus lateral tibial hemiepiphysiodesis. In case n. 2 first a medial hemiepiphysiodesis of the proximal tibia with Blount staples was performed. After 18 months the staples were removed from the tibia and a medial femoral hemiepiphysiodesis was performed.
