2. Surg cal Techn que 2.1.Locking Eight Plate 2.1.Locking Eight Plate 2.1.1.Indication Idiopathic genu valgum-varum is a growth disorder that is often diagnosed during adolescence. It is a preferred method to apply when critical values are exceeded. Compared to other implants, thanks to the 8 growth plate structure and flexible screw-plate connection, cases such as implant fracture and screw loosening are less common. The plaque benefits from the development of the bone. It slows down the growth in the area where the implant is applied. In the opposite direction, growth continues. In this way,...
