This study aimed to define the rates of lower limb angular correction using temporary hemiepiphysiodesis in differing skeletal pathologies. A retrospective review of 61 children (36M:25F) with angular deformities about the knee who underwent 8-plate hemiepiphysiodesis (mean age 10.8y) was undertaken. The children were divided into 9 groups based on their underlying pathology (lower limb hypoplasia, Blount's disease, skeletal dysplasia, rickets, metabolic disease, acquired growth disturbance, vascular malformation, steroid use and complex genetic disorders). Radiographic measurements of each limb segment was undertaken using the TraumaCad® digital templating software based on standing long-leg radiographs - mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA) and mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA). The rate of correction of each parameter was calculated as a function of the time lapse between the operation date and first radiographic evidence of full correction of the mechanical axis (zone 1). A total of 144 limb segments (80 distal femoral, 64 proximal tibial physes) were analysed. 62.5% of children had mechanical axes outside the knee joint at the time of operation; 63.2% achieved full correction. The rate of angular correction at the distal femur (mLDFA) was quickest in those with acquired growth disturbance (1.15°/month), complex genetic disorders (1.12°/month) and rickets (0.93°/month). It was slowest in those with vascular malformation (0.40°/month), lower extremity hypoplasia (0.44°/month) and metabolic disease (0.49°/month). At the proximal tibia, mMPTA correction was quickest in those with acquired growth disturbance (0.77°/month) and skeletal dysplasia (0.57°/month); whilst being slowest in those with metabolic disease (0.22°/month) and Blount's disease (0.29°/month). The rate of angular correction about the knee varies with the underlying pathology with correction rates varying up to 3-fold. This study demonstrated the differential rate of correction of angular deformities in children with different skeletal pathologies, which would help guide the timing of hemiepiphysiodesis
