8 plate hemiepiphysiodesis for correction of genu valgus

Hemiepiphysiodesis using an ’8’plate is a common method to correct genu valgus in growing children. It involves stopping growth on one side. Opposite side continues to grow and the deformity corrects. The plates are then removed. In this video Dr. Sameer Desai demonstrates the technique for hemi epiphysiodesis using ’8’ plate.
