Imaging revealed a left proximal tibial physeal bar amenable to surgical resection with autologous lipotransfer. At 10 months postoperatively, physical examination and imaging demonstrated a stable 3-cm leg length discrepancy with an interval increase in the length of the left tibia in proportion to the growth of the right side with an increase in valgus alignment that will continue to be monitored and addressed as indicated. CONCLUSION: Pediatric intraosseous line placement presents unique challenges and can ultimately lead to physeal injury and growth arrest in the case of malpositioning.<p> Pediatrics 22165 Surgery
