Motorized Internal Lengthening of Long Bones: Residual Limb Lengthening
Techniques in Orthopaedics, 2020 Distraction osteogenesis can be performed for transfemoral amputees using a motorized intramedullary limb lengthening nail (LLN) such as the 14×130 mm NuVasive Freedom nail. Despite being the shortest commercially available LLN, some patients have even shorter residual femurs, making it impossible to link the bone to the nail by the standard technique ...
