Abstract

We assessed the necessity of postoperative casting when a plate was used for fixation of a proximal femoral varus osteotomy. 26 children without postoperative immobilization were compared to 17 children with a cast. No complications were encountered in either group of children and all osteotomies showed similar healing. Our findings indicate that plate fixation provides adequate stability for healing of the osteotomy.
