Does hemiephysiodesis guided growth surgery 4 knock knee usually require hospital stay? how long before allowed to go up and down stairs?

Ask surgeon.: Before you get the surgery, talk to the surgeon about the procedure and what to expect. Take a notebook,with questions you may have, write down the answers. It helps to have someone with you, who may also take notes, and have questions. People remember differently, and two listeners are better than one, esp. if the person will help you after the surgery.
