“…The patient's age at the time of removal seems to be more crucial; each year of growth remaining until complete skeletal maturity increases rebound risk for 54%. The obtained data revealed that the chronological age of 12.5 years for males and 13 years for females at implantation time decreased such risks (21). Levielle et al reported that patients with an initial deformity of >20 degrees are more prone to experience rebound, compared to those with less severe deformities.…”

“…A concern about implant removal is the rebound phenomenon, i.e., why surgeons use slight overcorrection (19)(20)(21). Perfect timing is necessary to avoid and prevent overcorrection or under correction (18).…”

“…Farr et al explored the rebound of tension band plates. They suggested that each 1kg/m² increase in BMI indicates a 12% growth in the recurrence rate (21). The patient's age at the time of removal seems to be more crucial; each year of growth remaining until complete skeletal maturity increases rebound risk for 54%.…”

“…Besides, staples require a bigger incision; however, they are more effective than TBP to longitudinally block the physis (14,20). TBP at a younger age may increase malalignment recurrence risks; even using TBP close to the age of skeletal maturity has a risk of not achieving the complete correction (21). Faster correction occurs in younger patients (10,17).…”

“…Faster correction occurs in younger patients (10,17). TBP has some consequences, such as overcorrection, under-correction, and rebound (21). Screws move freely at platescrew junctions, i.e., because of the non-locking nature of TBP constructs.…”

Genu valgum is an angular deformity caused by several reasons, such as congenital syndromes, post-traumatic bone dysplasia, or an idiopathic form. It generates cosmetic problems, difficulties in function, and pain. Manipulating the growth plate by hemiepiphysiodesis with implants helps to achieve the correct alignment. We presented twin girls diagnosed with genu valgum deformity who were suffering from cosmetic problems and pain. We used growth modulation to temporarily arrest the growth plate. This procedure was followed by photographs and after 8 months, the implants were removed without having overcorrection. A brief literature review was also performed concerning the reported cases in the international databases, such as PubMed and Google Scholar on growth modulation for genu valgum deformity in twins. Twin girls with genu valgum deformities underwent hemiepiphysiodesis surgeries. We used reconstruction plates and 3.5 mm non-cannulated screws to fix both the distal femur and proximal tibia to temporarily arrest the growth plate. When we achieved the correct alignment the devices were removed.
