WARSAW, Ind., Nov. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OrthoPediatrics Corp. (NASDAQ: KIDS), a company exclusively focused on advancing the field of pediatric orthopedics, announced today the U.S. launch of its new PediLoc® Femur Plate System.  Building on the success of the existing PediLoc franchise, this upgraded offering boasts a lower profile screw to minimize soft tissue irritation, new locking drill guides, which simplify screw hole drilling and screw placement, and new 4.5mm straight locking compression plate options.
