Proximal tibial epiphyseal fusion was performed in immature black Labrador retriever dogs using an 8-mm drill followed by a high-speed burr. Epiphysiodesis was complete at 2 weeks in all experimental animals (average growth of 1.5 mm, whereas the unoperated side averaged 5.9 mm of growth). Minimal surgical exposure resulted in less pain in the experimental animals than in those undergoing epiphysiodesis by traditional means. This new technique may be of use in pediatric orthopedic patients.
对未成熟的黑色拉布拉多猎犬进行胫骨近端骨骺融合术，先用8毫米钻头，再用高速磨钻。所有实验动物在2周时骨骺固定完成（平均生长1.5毫米，而未手术侧平均生长5.9毫米）。与采用传统方法进行骨骺固定术的动物相比，最小限度的手术暴露使实验动物的疼痛减轻。这项新技术可能对小儿骨科患者有用。
