Temporary epiphysioidesis for growth control
• Correction of axis deformities and length differences by bridging and blocking of growth plates in cases of growth disorder of the infantile skeleton
ADVANTAGES
• Approx. 50° screw angle range for screw insertion in plate
• Exterior k-wire holes allow prefixation of the plate in exact longitudinal alignment with the
bone axis
• Fully retractable screw heads
• Minimal addition on bone due to extremely flat plate design and good plate adaption
• No irritation due to rounded plate edges
• Anatomical plate adaption possible (using plate bending forceps MAMMUT)
• 2 plate dimensions (3.5 / 4.0) tailored to the needs of the patients age groups
• Emergency plates with slotted hole
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
• Children and adolescents (ages 6 and up, before the end of growth)
• Existing leg length differences or axis deformities (x-ray diagnostics obligatory)
• Open growth plates
• Sufficient stable bone structure (relative contraindication)
• Patient compliance & regular followup (clinical / radiological)
