In a canine model with a transepiphyseal distal femoral fracture, varus deformity was corrected and the arrested limb was lengthened using transphyseal traction (turnbuckle). Correction was possible without removing the transphyseal bone bridge operatively. Subsequent growth was not adversely affected in most animals. Based on this study, two patients with significant growth deformities secondary to an enchondroma were treated by epiphyseal traction. Although correction was achieved initially, both lost the length previously gained because of premature removal of the external fixator and/or subsequent early growth plate closure.
在一个患有股骨远端经骨骺骨折的犬类模型中，使用经骨骺牵引（螺丝扣）纠正了内翻畸形，并延长了停滞生长的肢体。无需手术切除经骨骺骨桥即可实现矫正。在大多数动物中，后续生长未受到不利影响。基于这项研究，两名因内生软骨瘤继发严重生长畸形的患者接受了骨骺牵引治疗。尽管最初实现了矫正，但由于过早拆除外固定器和/或随后早期生长板闭合，两人都失去了先前增加的长度。
