My daughter is 6 years 7 month . When she was 16 days a surgery was done for septic arthrities. Recently we noticed abnormal gait. MRI was done , and result is as "
MR scan findings are suggestive of physeal fusion in the medial tibial plateau with resultant 27o
medial slope
and 7.5 to 9.8mm depression of the medial tibial articular surface. This is seen over an area involving 11% of
the proximal tibial physeal cartilage, 10.0mm from the anterior cortical surface and 11.6mm from the medial
cortical surface."
I want best treatment, please give suggestions.
