When surgical treatment is indicated, guided growth techniques have many advantages in managing these conditions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcome of a modification of the original Percutaneous Epiphysiodesis using Transphyseal Screw (PETS) technique described by M\u00e9taizeau as a minimally invasive surgical approach in the treatment of knee angular deformities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this prospective study, a total of 14 patients (comprising 25 limbs) with a coronal plane deformity of the knee underwent\u00a0percutaneous transphyseal screw hemiepiphysiodesis. Operative time is assessed. The patients were subsequently monitored for an average duration of 28\u00a0months.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>The radiological assessment was conducted using the metrics of MAD (mechanical axis deviation), mLDFA (mechanical lateral distal femoral angle), and MPTA (medial proximal tibial angle). Clinical assessment included the intermalleolar distance (IMD) and intercondylar distance (ICD). The functional outcome evaluation was conducted using a modified version of the original B\u00f6stman score, taking into account the different age groups of the targeted cases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the genu valgum group, the mean preoperative values were: intermalleolar distance (IMD) 16.9\u00a0cm, mechanical axis deviation (MAD) 2.6\u00a0cm, and mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA) 84\u00b0.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>In the genu varum group, the mean preoperative values were: intercondylar distance (ICD) 8.4\u00a0cm, mechanical axis deviation (MAD) \u20133.0\u00a0cm, and medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) 77.8\u00b0.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>The mean operative time was 15\u00a0min. All radiological and clinical outcome measures showed significant improvement (P\u2009\u2264\u20090.05). At 24\u00a0months, 96% of cases achieved an excellent B\u00f6stman knee score. One patient reached skeletal maturity before full correction could be achieved.
