ABSTRACT
There are multiple procedures involved epiphyseal function; however, the epiphysiodesis have shown higher effectiveness in handling techniques epiphyseal function as the brake is performed throughout the physis (symmetrical braking) or only in one part there of (asymmetric braking) will ensure a shortening or angular deformity of the bone spoken; this correction can be temporary or permanent; with asymmetric braking can correct a defect angular and symmetrical braking slowdown in growth in length of the limb. The requirement to carry out this procedure is that the patient is skeletally immature. In this article we will focus on describe the various techniques for epiphysiodesis, either temporarily or permanently in order to be a practical method of consultation for the reader. We shall not dwell in detail tables predictive value of growth is an issue other interesting and extensive, and is crucial to the success or failure of corrective treatment.REFERENCES
