Product description

Guided growth can harness the robust potential of a child's growth plate to correct angular deformities. The eight-Plate from Orthofix is a minimally invasive, secure implant that allows speedy postoperative recovery with immediate weight bearing. The eight-Plate uses two holes and diverging screws to function like a hinge and avoid growth plate compression. It gently guides the natural growth process and restores limb alignment without the need for invasive osteotomy.

Surgeon Benefits

• Simple outpatient procedure with no cast required
• Contoured two-hole plate bends for anatomic fit and flexibility during unilateral growth
• Central pilot hole for accurate placement over the physis
• Diverging screws function like a hinge to gently guide natural growth
• Fully threaded cannulated screws resist pull out forces and allow easy removal after treatment

Patient Benefits

• Minimally invasive and avoids cutting the bone
• No cast required
• Immediate weight bearing
