Beskin <strong>And</strong> Thomas Study The researchers Beskin 10 and Thompson 11 noted that when the knee was returned to a neutral alignment by a tibial osteotomy, it corrected itself. ( this suggests that the cartilage undergoes an initial insult that damages the physeal cartilage, then the pathogenesis of the disease takes over causing the varus deformity if there is no intervention.) Cook’s Cook s study on the pathogenes found that weight bearing is necessary for the progression of the deformity 12
Interesting Laws Hueter – Volkmann Law : indicates that as the compression forces increase on the epiphises, growth is inhibited. 13 Delpech’s Delpech s Law : Release of abnormal pressure stimulated epiphyseal growth (this law supports the necessity for application of a dynamic orthosis)
