This study was designed to assign the effectiveness of experimental epiphysiodesis withphemister technique on the epiphyseal plate of the longest bone in puppies.Eight puppies local breed male , aged between 1.5-2.5 mouths, and weighing 4-6 kg wereused .The animals were divided into two groups ;-The first group was treated in the proximaltibia of epiphyseal plate .with epiphysiodesis and second group treated in the distal tibial ofepiphyseal plate . All animals observed clinically and radiographically for 3 months postoperation .The animal was anesthetized by giving pre-medication with atropin sulphat .0.04mg/kg B.wintramuscullary after 10 minute injection of a mixture of xylazine Hcl 5 mg/kg B.w andketamine Hcl 15 mg/kg B.w .An incision from medial aspectunder knee joint after that separatethe superficial digital flexor muscle and gastrocnemius muscle then remove the osteum by bluntobject . Also high exposure the distal tibia epiphyseal plate above the metatarsal joint. Whencomplete exposure the epiphyseal plate drilling with phemister technique called epiphysiodesis.The clinical and radiographaical results show in two groups the treated limb supporting andcarry the weight in normal position , lameness ,in two days after operation , then disappear forone , two months according the lameness appear again after one and two months of operationin second and first group respectively .The conclusions of this study the epiphysiodesis is very important to correct the deformity oflimb lengthening and shortening in dogs
