The 8 Plate‌ (Guided Growth Plate) is a ‌titanium alloy guided growth plate system‌ designed for ‌gradual correction of angular deformities‌ in growing children. Utilizing the natural growth potential of the physis, this ‌low-profile implant‌ acts as a ‌flexible hinge‌ to redirect bone growth, addressing conditions like ‌knee valgus/varus‌, ‌ankle deformities‌, and ‌limb length discrepancies‌ through minimally invasive fixation. Its ‌contoured waist design‌ and ‌temporary guide pin compatibility‌ ensure precise application, while ‌cannulated/solid screw options‌ allow adaptability to pediatric anatomy.

Indications‌

Knee deformities (femoral/tibial varus, valgus, flexion, or extension)
Ankle deformities (varus, valgus, plantar flexion)
Limb length discrepancy correction (via bilateral physeal tethering) Contraindications‌
Adult skeletal deformities (no remaining growth potential)
Physically closed growth plates (trauma/infection-induced)

Features

‌ Minimally invasive‌: Minimal tissue disruption with early weight-bearing.
‌ Flexible hinge mechanism‌: Temporarily modulates physeal growth for gradual correction.
