Length and alignment data were quantified during lengthening, consolidation, and for 1\u2009year after guided growth implants were removed or the patient reached skeletal maturity. Digital simulation was performed for all lengthenings to assess the mechanical alignment that would have been achieved had lengthening been performed without medial distal femoral hemiepiphysiodesis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nine patients (five males, four females, mean age\u2009=\u200912.3\u2009\u00b1\u20091.9\u2009years) underwent 10 antegrade intramedullary femoral lengthenings with simultaneous medial distal femoral hemiepiphysiodesis. All had improvement in valgus alignment (average improvement in mechanical axis deviation was 18\u2009\u00b1\u200911\u2009mm, average change in limb alignment was 6\u2009\u00b1\u20095\u00b0). In simulated lengthenings without guided growth, all limbs would have experienced increased lateral mechanical axis deviation of 5\u2009\u00b1\u20093\u2009mm. The hemiepiphysiodesis implant and lengthening device were explanted simultaneously in 7 of 10 lengthenings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Simultaneous medial distal femoral hemiepiphysiodesis with antegrade femoral lengthening for ongenital femoral deficiency can minimize the number of surgical episodes for the skeletally immature patient.
