Use of Implant-Mediated Guided Growth With Tension Band Plate in Skeletally Immature Patients With Knee Pathology: A Retrospective Review.

ABSTRACT: Background: Skeletally immature patients with coronal plane angular deformity (CPAD) may be at increased risk for intra-articular pathology and patellofemoral instability (PFI). These patients may be candidates for implant-mediated guided growth (IMGG) procedures with tension band plates to address CPAD in addition to procedures for concomitant knee pathology. However, there are limited data on performing these procedures simultaneously. Questions/Purpose: We sought to demonstrate the feasibility of combined procedures to address both knee pathology and concomitant CPAD using IMGG in skeletally immature patients. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of skeletally immature patients who underwent IMGG and concomitant surgery for anterior cruciate ligament reconst
