Guided growth can harness the robust potential of a child's physis to correct angular deformities. The new eight-Plate from Orthofix is a minimally invasive, secure implant for hemi-epiphysiodesis 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 physis compression. It gently guides the natural growth process and restores limb alignment without the need for invasive osteotomy.
