Leg lengthening for short stature in Turner's syndrome
BIDWELL JP; BENNET GC; BELL MJ
J BONE JOINT SURG BR , 2000, vol. 82, n° 8, p. 1174-1176 Doc n°: 98050 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DE16 - TRAITEMENTS - MEMBRE INFERIEUR We describe ten patients with Turner's syndrome (karyotype 45, XO) who had leg lengthening for short stature. A high incidence of postoperative complications was encountered and many patients required intramedullary fixation as a salvage procedure. We discuss the reasons for this and highlight the differences between our findings and those of a similar series recently reported. In view of the considerable difficulties encountered, we do not recommend leg lengthening in Turner's syndrome. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 2001213977 |
