HEMIEPIPHYSIODESIS USING EIGHT-PLATE VERSUS BLOUNT STAPLE TO CORRECT GENU VALGUM AND GENU VARUM
Lower extremity growth and deformity
The pediatric lower extremity has well known growth patterns. When deformities or growth disturbances occur, there are several methods to measure and predict the resulting discrepancy, including the Green-Anderson, Moseley, and Multiplier methods. Many techniques exist to correct leg length discrepancy and deformity such and temporary epiphysiodesis, permanent epiphysiodesis, external fixators, and internal lengthening devices. All of these methods have numerous complications and limitations; however, with careful planning and patient selection, length and alignment can be improved with high patient satisfaction
