Guided growth can harness the robust potential of a child's growth plate to correct angular deformities. The new eight-Plate from Orthofix is a minimally invasive, secure implant that allows speedy post operative 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.
