All-inside physeal bar resection for partial physeal arrest of the distal radius with the aid of an arthroscope and patient-specific instrument.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The premature closure of the epiphysis of the distal radius is an infrequent condition in pediatric patients, often resulting in distal radius deformity. Currently, there is limited literature on its treatment, and controversy exists. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of all-inside physeal bar resection with the aid of an arthroscope and patient-specific instrument.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the patients who sustained distal radius physeal bar resection under all-inside visualization of the arthroscope with the aid of a patient-specific instrument during 2016-2022. Follow-up was performed for a minimum of 2 years, during which pre-operative and post-operative clinical and radiological parameters were compared.

Results

There were six
