Emerging treatments
Rotational guided growth
A novel surgical option is rotational guided growth, which works by tethering the growth plates of the distal femur and/or the proximal tibia and using the child’s bone growth to correct the deformity. This technique gradually corrects the deformity and does not have the weight bearing restrictions that a derotational osteotomy requires. However, this technique is new, and further studies are required to clarify its indications, outcomes, and complications.[87][88]
