PETS: The 10-Minute Reversible Epiphysiodesis Technique
from Orto&Trauma with Dr. Polotrauma
This episode covers the original 1998 study by Métaizeau and colleagues that introduced percutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws. We break down how a 10-minute procedure achieves 79 to 86 percent growth arrest, why 82 percent of patients finish within one centimeter of equal, and what makes this technique reversible compared to drilling or curettage.
