Tension Band Wiring for Proximal Femoral Varus Osteotomy Fixation in Children

摘要

For proximal varus osteotomy of the femur in children, a stable fixation, is a concern regarding the safety and the protection of the surgery. The methods of fixation are mostly represented by plating systems; however, the tension band wiring is a simple and eligible option for fixation of proximal femur osteotomy. The purpose of this retrospective case series study is to evaluate outcomes and bone remodelation after using the tension band wiring technique to fixate proximal femoral varus osteotomies in children.
