Determining the Best Treatment for Coronal Angular Deformity of the Knee Joint in Growing Children: A Decision Analysis

Figure 4

Two-way sensitivity analysis of the overall complication rate after temporary hemiepiphysiodesis using percutaneous screws and a tension band plate. This result shows preferred decision according to changes in the overall complication rate of temporary hemiepiphysiodesis using percutaneous screws and a tension band plate. Temporary hemiepiphysiodesis using a tension band plate occupied a larger area than that occupied by guided growth using percutaneous screws, suggesting that temporary hemiepiphysiodesis using a tension band plate was better than temporary hemiepiphysiodesis using percutaneous screws in the expected values.
