    To properly plan this procedure, there are charts that will help you calculate the amount of growth left. Then using paper cut outs you can estimate the amount of correction you will obtain. The toughest part of the whole procedure is obtaining a staple of the correct size. I have had to make my own using a .062 K-wire and bending and cutting it to size and shape. The nice part of this procedure is how little pain the patient has and how quickly the patient heals.
