Lengthening Strategies in Russell Silver Syndrome and Other Congenital Etiologies

Description

The video features Robert Rozbruch discussing congenital leg length discrepancies (LLD), focusing on factors impacting current and predicted leg length discrepancies (PLLD) at maturity. He explains the importance of understanding the percentage difference between limbs, termed the "multiplier," which helps in predicting maturity outcomes. Rozbruch presents various surgical strategies for managing leg length discrepancies, including one or two-stage lengthening, epiphysiodesis, and guided growth, exploring their outcomes through patient examples. He highlights advancements in techniques such as internal lengthening nails and the positive role of human growth hormone (HGH) in healing. Throughout, Rozbruch emphasizes individualized treatment plans based on LLD, PLLD, and patient compliance, aiming for optimal long-term results for patients with congenital disorders.
