Has anyone had this procedure done to their child? They want to slow down the growth in her good leg while the one with a previously severe femar break in her other leg catches up. They also want to put a Distal Medial Femral 8 plate in her bad leg, and remove the hardware in about a years time. They say they want to do this asap, scheduling for about the 1st of June. Any comments or suggestions? Thank you. Lori

Lori, I just found out my daughter needs this surgery too. I didn't see any comments posted. Did you go ahead with the surgery? Please reply. Candy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.241.208.12 (talk) 22:11, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
