Surgical Technique
The deformity is seen under fluroscopy and skin incision is made with
a 3 cm incision. The periosteum is reached after crossing the muscle
and fascia. It should be very careful not to damage the periosteum. In
order to prevent damage to the perichondral ring, a 1.2 X 150 mm
K-wire is used to detect localization under fluoroscopy. K-Wire placed
to the pyhsis.
The plate is positioned over the K-Wire by passing through the hole in
the center of the plate.

Butterfly 8 plate is positioned centrally to growth plate and screws sent parallel
or angled. The Peg Screws should be longerthan 1/3 of the growth plate.
The length of the screws are determined by using the Length Measuring
Device over the K-Wires.

Screw heads are locked to the plate by turning the Screwdriver.
After the K-Wires are pulled out, it must be checked that there is no
space between the plate and the bone. The space between plate
and bone may cause screw breakage in the follow-up period.
After the fixation process is completed, bleeding control is provided with tourniquet application. Skin and fascia
plans are carefully closed and the subcutaneous and skin are closed.
Immobilization on next day is not recommended for patients . Weight bearing, knee flexion, extension
movements are recommended according to the pain tolerance.

Plate Extraction
The patients are checked 3 months period. The angles of the mechanical axes and joints are measured by the
X-ray. After the measured values are neutral, the plate is removed and the growth is continued normal.
The threaded head of the Peg screws is recovered by rotating the screw head with the normal screwdriver. There
is an extractor designed for removing the Butterfly 8 plate and Peg Screws.
The threaded section of the Extractor is attached to the threaded section of the Peg Screws. The Extractor is
retracted and the screw is removed. During removal, the Hammer With Slotted End can be used with slight hits.
