Deformity of Limb
Conditions
Brief summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the value of growing rods for the correction of long bone deformities in pediatric cases attending Sohag University Hospital and follow up aiming at determining benefits and obstacles to this technique
Detailed description
* The participants will be subjected to surgical correction using growing rods as a novel technique for their long bone deformities. * Procedure will be done under anaesethia * Osteotomy , fracture reduction , deformity correction will be done , then introduction of the growing rod
