Peanut™ Growth Control Plating System
An Innovative Approach to Hemi-Epiphysiodesis
The Peanut Growth Control Plating System is an extra-periosteal implant that is centered over the growth plate. The plate and screw construct functions as a hinging together, effectively limiting further deformity succession and allowing gradual correction with growth. Over a period of 6-18 months (guided growth phase), this tether will gradually redirect the angle of the long bone’s growth. System features include:

Over a period of 6-18 months (guided growth phase), this tether will gradually redirect the angle of the long bone’s growth. System features include:
- Provides controlled growth of healthy epiphysis, restoring proper anatomic alignment
- Advanced instrumentation enhances surgical efficiency and accommodates various surgical approaches including minimally invasive techniques
- Pre-contoured extra-periosteal plates for optimized fit and functionality
- Minimal post-operative rehabilitation and immediate weight bearing
