Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
When the normal cartilage of a growing physis is disrupted by injury or infection, it can heal with bone instead of cartilage, thereby forming a physeal bar. Physeal bars can cause angular or length deformities in the limbs of growing children and one way to surgically treat them, when recognized early enough, is with physeal bar resection to allow resumption of growth. A central physeal bar can be resected with computed tomography (CT) guidance using cannulated trephines and curettes and visualizing the resection cavity with an arthroscope prior to the central bar causing a significant limb length discrepancy. A peripheral physeal bar can be resected by direct open approach before the bar can cause a clinically significant angular deformity. This paper will detail these techniques for physeal bar resection.
