Purpose of reviewLower extremities axis alterations are a frequent cause for consultation in the medical practice of the care of paediatric patients. When it corresponds to pathological situations, guided growth surgery has been positioned as a possibility of well tolerated, reproducible and predictable resolution. For this reason, its use has increased significantly in recent years. In this review, its current indications, preoperative study, results and complications described in the updated literature will be discussed. Recent findingsThe success of the technique remains high in the current literature, expanding the technique to other segments and disorders, and describing new ways of performing tension band with sutures. In addition, there is an increase in its incidence and a decrease in the associated hospitalized days, which can associate with techniques of lower morbidity.
