Summary
This study looks at the long-term results of a surgery that replaces the missing growth plate at the top of the thigh bone in children who lost it due to a severe hip infection. Researchers will check how well the bone heals and how well the hip works at least five years after the operation. The goal is to see if this complex surgery can help restore hip function and growth in these young patients.
