In children with excessive knock knees it may be necessary to use guided growth (small surgical procedure) so the child outgrows the condition before maturity. A new implant is on the market and the investigators compare this implant (8plate) with the old technique (staples) in a randomised setup. The hypothesis is that the 8plate provides a faster correction rate and that this treatment is superior to stapling.
