Abstract (EN)
(1) Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of sex and age on the outcomes of hemiepiphysiodesis performed for genu valgum and varum deformity correction. (2) Methods: We analyzed patients who had undergone O-Plate hemiepiphysiodesis due to genu valgum or varum in the period of 2020–2023. The study group comprised 22 females and 20 males aged between 3 and 14 years at the time of surgery. Age-stratification yielded a subgroup of 3–10-year-olds (16 patients, 20 treated limbs) and a subgroup of 11–14-year-olds (26 patients, 28 treated limbs). We assessed the following parameters: hospital stay duration, deformity correction time, MAD correction, amount of angular correction, correction velocity, correction rate, complete deformity correction, deformity recurrence, surgery duration, and complications. (3) Results: The mean follow-up was 19 months. The mean surgery time in the subgroup of 3–10-year-olds (25.62 min) was significantly longer than that in the subgroup of 11–14-year-olds (22.81 min, p = 0.018). The mean deformity correction time in the male subgroup (11.33 months) was significantly shorter than that in the female subgroup (15.87 months, p = 0.013). A comparison of the subgroups stratified by age yielded a mean amount of angular correction of 10.5° in the younger children, which was significantly higher than that of 7.2° achieved in the older children; p = 0.027. The difference in mean correction velocity between 3–10-year-old children (4.03 mm/month) and that in 11–14-year-old children (1.39 mm/month) was statistically significant; p = 0.031. The mean rate of correction was 0.49°/month in females and 0.89°/month in males, with the latter rate significantly greater; p = 0.023. The difference in the mean rate of correction between the younger (1.08°/month) and the older subgroup (0.59°/month) was also significant; p = 0.018. A significant difference in terms of deformity recurrence rates was observed between the younger subgroup (66.67%) and older subgroup (only 10.53%); p = 0.005. (4) Conclusions: Patient sex had no significant effect on hemiepiphysiodesis outcomes; patient age has a considerable effect on hemiepiphysiodesis outcomes.
