The biology of bone lengthening [PDF]
Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, 2016 Distraction osteogenesis biologically resembles fracture healing with distinctive characteristics notably in the distraction phase of osteogenesis. In the latency phase of bone lengthening, like in the inflammatory phase of fracture repair, interleukines

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 ...
