Multiplier method may be unreliable to predict the timing of temporary hemiepiphysiodesis for coronal angular deformity
Abstract Background and purposes The multiplier method was introduced by Paley to calculate the timing for temporary hemiepiphysiodesis. However, this method has not been verified in terms of clinical outcome measure. We aimed to (1) predict the rate of angular correction per year (ACPY) at the vari...
