Coronal angular deformities of lower limb in children are a common finding in pediatric orthopedic surgery.These angular deformities can be idiopathic in origin, or they can emerge secondary to congenital and acquired abnormalities. Persistent coronal plane deformities around knee (genu varum/valgum) could lead to meniscal tears, collateral ligament laxity, cartilage degeneration, and early osteoarthritis due to gradual mechanical axis disruption
Growth plate still open at Time of Surgery
Epiphyseal plate involved in trauma resulting in a bridging callus formation,
Single group
Hemiepiphysiodesis
Device8 plate
Eight-Plates first described by Stevens are simple to use
Procedure/Surgeryfewer complications in terms of implant loosening and fracture can be expected.Good results as well as low rebound and complication rates have been recorded
Hemiepiphysiodesis by eight Plate
DeviceExtraperiosteal eight plate insertion
