Guided growth using tension band plates is an established corrective method, but its predictability \u2013 especially in nonidiopathic cases \u2013 needs further evaluation. This study analyzed correction rates (CR) and treatment outcomes in different etiologies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective review included patients treated for coronal plane deformities with tension band plates from 2009 to 2021. Patients were classified according to etiology. Radiographic measurements (mechanical axis deviation, mLDFA, and mMPTA) were compared between baseline and end of correction.

The average CR for mLDFA was 0.67 (+\/\u22120.55)\u00b0\/month and for mMPTA 0.43 (+\/\u22120.38)\u00b0\/month.
