Importance of bone health in bone lengthening [PDF]
Journal of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America: Distraction osteogenesis describes the process of growing new bone (“regenerate”) to correct limb length discrepancies or limb deformities. Whether pure lengthening or a combination of lengthening and straightening is involved, this represents one of ...

Analysis of strut-to-bone lengthening ratio for hexapod frames using mathematical modeling
Journal of Limb Lengthening & Reconstruction, 2017 Background: Hexapod external fixators often incorporate bone lengthening as part of a multi-planar deformity correction plan. The hexapod struts, however, do not distract in the direction of bone lengthening. Their oblique orientation to the ring creates

Bone Lengthening Radius using Limb Reconstruction System - A Successful Treatment for Radius Shortening: A Case Report [PDF]
Malaysian Orthopaedic JournalFractures of the distal radius are the most common type of forearm fractures seen in children. The most serious outcome of physeal injuries is growth arrest, which can result in deformity and even significant differences in limb length.

Systematic review of complications with externally controlled motorized intramedullary bone lengthening nails (FITBONE and PRECICE) in 983 segments [PDF]
Acta Orthopaedica, 2020 Background and purpose — In recent years motorized intramedullary lengthening nails have become increasingly popular. Complications are heterogeneously reported in small case series and therefore we made a systematic review of complications occurring in ...
