I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Epiphysiodesis is essentially surgical destruction of the growth plates at the end of bones. With age, these growth plates produce bone material that hardens. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.
