The <strong>4.5mm Pediatric Eight-plate<\/strong> is our heavy-duty guided growth system, specifically engineered for larger patients or those approaching skeletal maturity where higher mechanical forces are present. This implant system offers a minimally invasive method for correcting angular deformities such as knock-knees (genu valgum) and bowlegs (genu varum) without the need for osteotomy.<\/p>\n<h3>Mechanism of Action: Hemiepiphysiodesis<\/h3>\n<p>El <strong>4.5mm Pediatric Eight-plate<\/strong> operates on the principle of tension band hemiepiphysiodesis. By placing the figure-8 shaped plate across the physis (growth plate) on the convex side of the deformity, the implant acts as a non-rigid tether. As the patient grows, the plate retards growth on the instrumented side while allowing the opposite side to grow normally. This differential growth gradually corrects the limb alignment over time.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike rigid staples that can compress the physis and potentially cause permanent closure, our eight-plate system is designed to allow the screws to diverge within the plate holes. This \u201chinge\u201d effect preserves the health of the growth plate and reduces the risk of implant failure or screw breakage.<\/p>\n<h3>Caracter\u00edsticas principales y ventajas cl\u00ednicas<\/h3>\n<p>The 4.5mm system is designed to withstand the increased physiological loads found in the distal femur and proximal tibia of older children. Key features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Robust Design:<\/strong> The 4.5mm configuration provides increased fatigue strength compared to the standard 3.5mm plates, making it ideal for adolescents or patients with a higher Body Mass Index (BMI).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contorneado anat\u00f3mico:<\/strong> The plate features a low-profile, contoured design that minimizes soft tissue irritation and prominence, which is crucial for patient comfort and postoperative recovery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Screw Divergence:<\/strong> The specialized hole geometry allows for significant screw divergence (up to 30 degrees), accommodating the natural angular changes that occur during the correction process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minimally Invasive:<\/strong> The implantation requires a small incision and minimal submuscular dissection, leading to less pain, reduced scarring, and faster return to daily activities compared to corrective osteotomies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Indications for Use<\/h3>\n<p>El <strong>4.5mm Pediatric Eight-plate<\/strong> is indicated for the gradual correction of pediatric deformities in patients with open growth plates, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Genu Valgum idiop\u00e1tico (rodillas en X)<\/li>\n<li>Genu Varum idiop\u00e1tico (piernas arqueadas)<\/li>\n<li>Discrepancia de longitud de las extremidades (DLE)<\/li>\n<li>Deformities associated with skeletal dysplasias or metabolic disorders.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed flexion deformities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Material and Quality Standards<\/h3>\n<p>Quality and safety are the cornerstones of OrthoPro\u2019s manufacturing process. This implant system is fabricated from medical-grade <strong>Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V)<\/strong>. Titanium is selected for its superior biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and MRI compatibility. Furthermore, its modulus of elasticity is closer to that of bone, reducing stress shielding.<\/p>\n<h3>Especificaciones t\u00e9cnicas<\/h3>\n<p>Our 4.5mm Pediatric Eight-plate system is compatible with standard large fragment instrument sets.
