Indications
The Guided Growth Plate Systems is designed for the gradual correction of pediatric congenital as well as acquired bone deformities in the lower extremities, provided that the physis (growth plates) are not fused. The plates feature a contoured waist and low profile for pediatric usage.
Contraindications
The Guided Growth Plate System Plus should not be used for adult deformities: skeletal maturity precludes further growth. The Guided Growth System Plus should not be used where the growth plate has closed due to trauma or infection since further growth is precluded.
