Abstract
Guided growth using titanium tension band plates is an advancement in the correction of angular deformity. We applied two-hole stainless-steel one-third tubular plates for the same purpose. There were 14 deformities around the knees in eight children, mean age 10.8 years at operation. The success rate was 92.9% (13/14). The average correction rate per month was 0.59° in the femur and 0.65° in the tibia. No premature physeal arrest, overcorrection, or rebound phenomenon was observed. A stainless-steel plate is a safe and effective option for guided growth surgery in countries where only stainless-steel plates are available.
