Table 4.

Effect modification of patients with concurrent fibular pseudarthrosis on the risk of ankle valgus compared with those without concurrent fibular pseudarthrosis, stratified by NF-1, CPT location, age of patient undergoing surgery and LLD

OR (95% CI) P value
CPT location
 Proximal 2/3 1.580 (0.563 to 4.431) 0.3850
 Distal 1/3 2.195 (1.154 to 4.175) 0.0166
Age of patient undergoing surgery (years)
 <3 2.485 (1.188 to 5.200) 0.0157
 ≥3 1.392 (0.604 to 3.208) 0.4370
LLD (cm)
 <2 2.478 (1.225 to 5.015) 0.0116
 ≥2 1.035 (0.394 to 2.723) 0.9441
NF-1
 No 0.981 (0.335 to 2.871) 0.9725
 Yes 2.836 (1.517 to 5.303) 0.0011

Above models adjusted for: sex, BMI, fracture age, age of patient undergoing surgery, surgery method, NF-1, LLD, CPT location, and fibular cystic change. In each case, the model was not adjusted for stratification variable itself.

BMI, body mass index; CPT, congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia; LLD, limb-length discrepancy; NF-1, type 1 neurofibromatosis.
