   Based on early clinical experiences with permanent or temporary epiphysiodesis (Phemister 1933 ; Blount and Clarke 1949 ) many experimental articles were published in the mid-20th century with the goal to improve growth regulation of long bones, but also to evaluate the risk of epiphyseal fractures or epiphysiolysis on the remaining longitudinal growth (Haas 1948, Haas 1945a, b, 1950 ; Campbell et al. 1959 ; Ford and Key 1956 ; Friedenberg 1957 ; Siffert 1956 ; Barash and Siffert 1966 ; Nordentoft 1969 ).
