Eight plate should not be used for treating leg length discrepancy.
(2013) In Journal of Children's Orthopaedics 7(4). p.285-288- Abstract
- The Blount staple has been widely used for treating angular deformities and leg length discrepancy (LLD) of the lower limbs. In recent years, the Eight plate has replaced the Blount staple for treating angular deformities in many centres. Although not described in the literature, it has been proposed that the Eight plate could also be used for treating LLD. We studied the effectiveness of the device for this indication.
