How Long Does It Take To Recover From Epiphysiodesis?

Growth can be stopped by a minor day care surgery procedure called epiphysiodesis. How long does it take to recover from this procedure? Also, what type of surgeons preform this procedure.? And also how does this surgery work? Will they have to open up every single bone in my body and remove every epiphyseal plate? How many epiphyseal plates will they have to remove.? Is it a painful recovery? As you can see I have many questions. Please answer them for me. I really find your knowledge beneficial.

Hi,

It depends upon the age of patient which epiphysis are involved, orthopedics and endocrinologist combine treat such patients, early recovery is usual.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
