Abstract
The principles of guided growth have been followed in orthopaedics since historic times . The bent tree braced to a stake to make it grow upward and straight is the first reference to the principles of growth modulation in the annals of orthopaedic history
Keywords: Guided Growth, Epiphysiodesis, Hemiepiphysiodesis, growth modulation, eight plates, genu varum, genu valgum, deformity correction, pediatric orthopaedics, growth plate
