Study: NCT04709887

Intervention type: PROCEDURE
Group type: OTHER
Intervention: Tibial transverse transport surgery
Description: In the anteromedial area of the proximal tibia of the affected limb, the external fixation frame was compared with the area along the midline of the medial longitudinal axis of the proximal tibia. Subsequently, two 3.0 Steinmann pins were inserted through the single layer of cortical bone. The skin was cut along the long axis with the 3.0 Steinmann pin as the centre, and the subcutaneous tissue was separate bluntly to expose the periosteum. The Steinmann pins were used as the centre point for the drilling on four sides with a 2.0 drill bit and use of a rapid osteotomy device; the length of each side was 2.5 cm. Subperiosteal osteotomy was performed with a 5-mm narrow bone knife at an angle of 15°-30° to the bone surface. The surgeons should pay attention to protect the blood supply of the periosteum during this procedure. The external fixators were fixed with 4.0 Steinmann pins at the distal and proximal ends. The subcutaneous tissue and skin were sutured.
