Joint morphology after temporary epiphysiodesis around the knee

Objectives: Temporary Epiphysiodesis (tED) of the distal femur and/or proximal tibia is frequently employed to correct leg length discrepancy (LLD). The procedure may also be applied bilaterally in the treatment of tall stature. However, it remains unclear whether tED may produce epiphyseal deformity [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
