Since the eight-Plate does not bear any body weight after it is implanted, patient size really doesn’t matter. The eight-Plate can be used successfully in patients as young as 18 months or as old as 17 years, as long as the child is still growing (skeletally immature). For parents searching for ways to help their children, please visit our online patient education and information website at www.eight-Plate.com.
