Introduction. Epiphysiodesis, defined as the process of closing the growth plate (physis), have been used for several years as a treatment option of cases where the predicted leg-length discrepancy (LLD) falls between 2 to 5 cm. The aim of this study was to systematically review the existing literature on the effectiveness of three different epiphysiodesis techniques with implant usage for the treatment of leg-length discrepancy in the pediatric population. The secondary aim was to address the reported complications of staples, tension-band plates (TBP) and percutaneous epiphysiodesis screws (PETS). Method. This systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. We searched MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus for studies on skeletally immature patients with LLD treated with epiphysiodesis with an implant. The extracted outcome categories were effectiveness of epiphysiodesis (LLD measurements pre/post-operatively, successful/unsuccessful) and complications that were graded on severity. Result. Forty-four studies (2184 patients) were included, from whom 578 underwent TBP, 455 PETS and 1048 staples. From pooled analysis of the studies reporting success rate, 64% (150/234) successful TBP surgeries (10 studies), 78% (222/284) successful PETS (9 studies) and 52% (212/407) successful Blount staples (8 studies). Severe complications rate was 7% for PETS, 17% for TBP and 16% for Blount staples. TBP had 43 cases of angular deformity (10%), Blount staples 184 (17%) while PETS only 18 cases (4%). Conclusion. Our results highlighted that PETS seems to be the most successful type of epiphysiodesis surgery with an implant, with higher success rate and lower severe complications than TBP or Blount staples
