A device and method for correcting a rotational deformity, for use in lengthening a bone or aiding in stabilising a fractured bone. When used to correct a rotational deformity, the device comprises a first member and a second member moveably connected to each other such that when the two members are moved apart along a first axis, the first and/or second members rotate relative to each other about the first axis. 1. An orthopaedic device for securing between first and second regions of bone separated by a growth plate , the orthopaedic device comprising:a first member having an end to secure to the first bone region; and a second member having an end to secure to the second bone region;wherein the first and second members are moveably connected to each other such that when the ends are moved apart along a first axis, the first and/or second members rotate relative to each other about the first axis.2. The orthopaedic device of claim 1 , wherein the first and/or second members comprise one or more rotational feature.3. The orthopaedic device of claim 2 , wherein the first member extends from a first end to a second end and the first end is securable to the first bone region.4. The orthopaedic device of claim 3 , wherein the first member includes a first bone fixation region located at or adjacent to the first end of the first member and a mating region extending from said first bone fixation region.5. The orthopaedic device of claim 4 , wherein the second member extends from a first end to a second end claim 4 , the first end securable to the second bone portion and the second end configured to receive at least part of the first member.6. The orthopaedic device of claim 5 , wherein the second member includes a second bone fixation region located at or adjacent to the first end of the second member.7. The orthopaedic device of claim 4 , wherein the second member includes a complementary mating region relative to the mating region of the first member.8. The orthopaedic ...
