a Anteroposterior radiographs of a 13 year old boy with an S-H type V proximal physeal injury of the right tibia, 12 months post-injury. b Anteroposterior radiographs of the same patient 12 months post-injury, showing a tibial length discrepancy of 6 mm. c The patient underwent a correctional osteotomy. d Five months after the correctional osteotomy, without angular deformity. e Two years after the correctional osteotomy. Malalignment of the tibial axis is present. f Four years after the correctional osteotomy. Despite the partial remodeling, a residual valgus deformity of 2° can be observed. g Four years after the correctional osteotomy. No tibial or fibular length discrepancy is apparent
