A 10-year-old boy sustained the injury shown in Figure A to his right leg while playing soccer. Figure B shows his treatment. He presents one year later with a healed fracture, but on MRI, the physis of the right distal femur has completely closed. His bone age matches his chronological age. He currently has a 2cm leg length discrepancy, left longer than right, and is asymptomatic. What treatment will be most appropriate to correct the discrepancy?
