A centrally located bone bar of the lower tibia was removed after epiphyseolysis with an Ilizarov device. The bone bridge attached to the metaphysis was easy to remove, and methylmethacrylate was used as an interpositional material. Varus deformity was corrected at the level of the epiphyseolysis. At the 2-year follow-up, there was evidence of further growth and correction of the varus was maintained.
