Abstract
Hemiepiphyseodesis for angular deformities in the growing child is effective and avoids the complications of osteotomies and gradual correction with external fixation. This article reviews applications of screw hemiepiphyseodesis for coronal and sagittal plane deformities in the lower extremity. Indications, technical pearls, and pitfalls are discussed.
