When growing children suffer a fracture, the fracture may fail to heal or the affected or neighbouring bones may become malaligned and deformed after the fracture has healed. These malpositions and deformities can also be caused by direct involvement of the growth zones in the skeleton of children and adolescents.
Auch durch angeborene Fehlbildungen oder Wachstumsstörungen, die sich erst im Verlauf entwickeln, kann es zu Einschränkungen kommen. Ob eine Operation nötig ist, hängt von individuellen Faktoren ab, wie Alter, Restwachstum, Ausmaß der Fehlstellung oder Deformität, Einschränkung der Beweglichkeit, kosmetischer Beeinträchtigung und Ausmass der Beteiligung der Wachstumsfugen.
Thanks to modern techniques, corrections and lengthening of the bone can now be carried out in a minimally invasive manner whenever possible. State-of-the-art, motorised implants are used to achieve the best possible shape, function and quality of life.
