WishBone Medical’s WishFIXTM System is an effective growth control plating solution for temporary hemiepiphysiodesis, a proven treatment with low complication rates.1
Designed for use in both upper and lower extremities, WishFIXTM curved plates allow the physician to redirect the growth angle of the long bone, gradually correcting the angular deformity in pediatric patients with open physis.2, 3 This surgical solution is recommended as a first line of treatment, preferred over major surgical intervention, such as osteotomies.1 Immediately following the procedure, the patient is allowed mobility and weight bearing.2
FEATURES
- 2-Hole and 4-Hole plates available in 10 sizes (5 ea.)
