Effects of two epiphyseal-stimulating procedures on localgrowth of long bones in rabbits

摘要

Objective: To study the effects of two epiphyseal stimulating procedures on local growth of long bone in rabbits. Methods: Osteotomy was performed in the metaphysis near the proximal tibial epiphyseal plate and hemicircumferential periosteal excision was made on the proximal tibial epiphysis. Tibia roentgenography, tetx, acycline labelling, histological method and electron microscopy were used. Results: The local stimulating effect following the hemicircumferential periosteal excision was more remarkable than the osteotomy. Conclusions: Periosteal excision is a better treatment for children's knee deformity.
