: A common problem in pediatric orthopedics is leg length discrepancy (LLD). In adulthood, this may result in overload and degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, hip, and knee joints of the longer limb, and the fixed equinus position of the foot of the shorter limb. Surgical treatment using temporary epiphysiodesis with eight-plate implants is a minimally invasive, safe, and patient-tolerated procedure in LLD.

Purpose: Hemi-epiphysiodesis procedures in skeletally immature patients are commonly done to correct genu valgum over time. This study seeks to demonstrate the average rate of deformity correction for genu valgum using hinged tension band plates, while examining different age groups and sex-related differences.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent hemi-epiphysiodesis with hinged tension band plates for valgus knee deformity from 2012 to 2022 by one pediatric orthopaedic surgeon was performed.

The aim of this study is to comprehensively investigate the recent literature on the management of leg length discrepancy (LLD). A thorough search of pertinent databases was done in order to find studies that satisfied the requirements for inclusion. A thorough search of PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Science Direct was conducted to find pertinent literature.

Aims And Objectives: Genu recurvatum deformity after treatment of leg-length discrepancy (LLD) with tension-band plating is a recognized, but poorly described phenomenon in medical literature. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiological features of patients treated with tension-band plating for LLD assessing the development of a recurvatum deformity and its relationship to plate and screw disposition in a transversal plane, thus attempting to establish optimal plate positioning.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of children with LLD treated with tension-band plating.

Leg length discrepancy (LLD) is a common problem in the daily clinical practice of pediatric orthopedists. Surgical treatment using LLD temporary epiphysiodesis with eight-plate implants is a minimally invasive, safe, and well-tolerated procedure that provides good treatment effects with a relatively low percentage of complications. The main aim of this retrospective study was to determine the effect of epiphysiodesis on the shape of the proximal tibia.
