Temporary isolated medial femoral hemiepiphysiodesis (TIMFH) represents a safe and effective technique widely used to treat idiopathic genu valgum. Recent studies mainly concentrated on comparing outcomes of different implants, while less attention has been reserved to the proper indications and timing for surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to provide evidence-based guidelines about indications for device implant and removal and postoperative management.

Abstract
Temporary isolated medial femoral hemiepiphysiodesis (TIMFH) represents a safe and effective technique widely used to treat idiopathic genu valgum. Recent studies mainly concentrated on comparing outcomes of different implants, while less attention has been reserved to the proper indications and timing for surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to provide evidence-based guidelines about indications for device implant and removal and postoperative management.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
