    Author: Cuny C, Lepelley M, Jolly A, Guillaumot M, Legras B, Prevot J, Beau A.
    Journal: Chir Pediatr; 1980; 21(3):245-8. PubMed ID: 7408080.
    Abstract:
    The authors relate their experience in the treatment of unequal leg length, in children, by was of epiphysiodesis. They realized 54 Phemister's operations and 94 Blount's Among the latters, final sterilization of the epiphyseal cartilage has been noted after 1,5 year and the axis deviations (main complication of these operations) was clearly more frequent and graver. Besides, the estimates preliminary to the epiphysiodesis setted up for the treatment of small inequality proved to be little reliable and little accurate and this difficulty in making accurate prevision is an important snag to the method.
