PLEO - PediLoc® Extension Osteotomy Plate. The PLEO plate consists of 3.5mm and 4.5mm plates, left and right side specific. The PLEO plate is designed to fit the anatomy of the distal femur in children and adolescents, above the distal femoral physis. The distal section of the plate is designed so that three locking screws can be placed in the distal bone segment at an angle parallel to the distal femoral physis. The proximal portion of the plate is designed to accept locking or non-locking screws.
