To present a summary of epiphysiodesis indications and to report most recent advances in the field, along with their clinical relevance.
Percutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws (PETS) and guided growth using eight plates represent the most recent techniques used for hemiepiphysiodesis.
PETS and guided growth have yielded very good results and low rates of complications and are the current standard for the management of angular deformities of the lower extremities in children. Permanent percutaneous epiphysiodesis remains the preferred method for the treatment of limb length discrepancies.
介绍骺板切除术的适应证，并报告该领域的最新进展及其临床意义。
经骺板螺钉（Percutaneous epiphysiodesis using transphyseal screws，PETS）和 8 板引导生长是目前用于半骺板切除术的最新技术。
PETS 和引导生长取得了非常好的结果，并发症发生率低，是目前儿童下肢成角畸形的治疗标准。永久性经皮骺板切除术仍然是治疗肢体长度差异的首选方法。
