Patients with angular deformities such as bow legs and knock knees can benefit from Guided Growth treatment with the eight-Plate. Guided Growth is a minimally invasive technique that does not require casting and allows immediate post-operative weight bearing. It eliminates the need for staging a series of surgeries to correct a deformity over time. |
Physicians can provide early intervention via guided growth to restore and preserve a neutral axis so a patient can enjoy a normal lifestyle while maximizing the growth potential of his or her physes, not only of the knee but the hips and ankles as well. By correcting and maintaining alignment, secondary bone deformitiies may be ameliorated and osteotomies for angular correction deferred if not avoided altogether. |
