## What is Paley Growth?

Prediction of height, limb length and limb length discrepancy are all done using the Paley Multiplier method. Instead of using the Multiplier tables, a calculator and formulae this app allows you to enter patient age, sex and length parameters in order to calculate the prediction. Using this app you can predict limb length and limb length discrepancy at maturity for congenital and developmental discrepancies of the lower or upper limbs. It allows calculation of the age of epiphysiodesis for a desired correction and growth remaining. Standing and sitting height at maturity in normals and in achondroplasia can also be predicted. Foot length and fetal bone and limb length discrepancy can also be predicted. The multiplier growth charts and deformity parameters are also included for reference. The multiplier method is as or more accurate than other growth prediction methods and validation studies are published and referenced in the bibliography.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2016-11-14*

Congrats for this app. Please, check the achondroplasia algorithms. Final height prediction curves for females are being shown on male graphs.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2016-05-14*

Thank you very much for this great application.  I was totally lost when I knew my son has LLD.  This App helped me to know all projections I needed

With all respect

### 5/5 — "Paley" Deformity App!

Excellent App for anyone doing pediatric orthopedics!

### 5/5 — Great app to have!

*2011-08-16*

Dr. Paley kept saying that his fellows carried the paper chart all the time in their wallet, which was true, now it's time for every Jedi and new J.I.T.s to download this app to their iLightsaber.

### 5/5 — Multiplier app

*2011-05-08*

This app is extremely useful in the office. It allows so many different prediction possibilities including LLD, height, epiphysiodesis, limb , etc.My patients were impressed that I could calculate their discrepancy in seconds on my iPhone in front of them. Great achievement Dr. Paley. thank you.
