Measurement of the tensile forces during bone lengthening

Clinical Biomechanics, 2005
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of lengthening frequency on mechanical environment in limb lengthening.Tensile forces were continuously monitored using a load sensor attached to a unilateral external fixator. Twenty patients were monitored.

Imaging in Bone Lengthening

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1994
Limb lengthening using callotasis needs careful preoperative planning and great care during the lengthening period. The most common method used to monitor limb lengthening is plain radiography, but the time of frame removal is still left to the judgment of the surgeon. This paper reviews some of the methods used experimentally and clinically to monitor

Bone Lengthening in the Craniofacial Skeleton

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1989
The process of bone lengthening by cortical fracture and gradual distraction of callus has become well established in the enchondral bones of the extremities. In this study the principles of bone lengthening were applied to the membranous bone of the craniofacial skeleton using the growing dog mandible as a model.

Membranous Bone Lengthening

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1992
Bone lengthening using the process of corticotomy and gradual distraction of callus is applicable to the membranous bone of the canine mandible. In this study the precursors to bone formation, in the area between the distracted bone edges, are analyzed in an attempt to determine the mechanism of bone formation.

BONE LENGTHENING

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1948
1. Two inches of lengthening may be gained in the femur, and three inches in the tibia and fibula, without complication. 2. More than this may be secured at the risk of temporary external popliteal paresis. 3. Lengthening of the tibia and fibula is more certain and more easy to control than lengthening of the femur. 4.

Bone Lengthening in the Pediatric Upper Extremity

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2016
➤Bone lengthening has been used successfully for several congenital and acquired conditions in the pediatric clavicle, humerus, radius, ulna, and phalanges.➤Common indications for bone lengthening include achondroplasia, radial longitudinal deficiency, multiple hereditary exostosis, brachymetacarpia, symbrachydactyly, and posttraumatic and ...

Introduction of an Intraoral Bone-Lengthening Device

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1995
It has been demonstrated that distraction osteogenesis is an effective clinical tool with applications for the entire human skeleton. Therapeutic exploitation in the correction of the asymmetrical and hypoplastic mandible has been reported previously. However, the main criticism of this technique has been the residual cutaneous scars resulting from the

Bone regeneration and limb lengthening

Osteoporosis International, 2011
Regeneration of bone in the presence of stable fixation and the maintenance of the osteogenic tissue (marrow, endosteum, nutrient artery, and periosteum) required another factor to stimulation of bone regeneration: incremental distraction produces bone of both endosteal and periosteal origin. The soft tissues undergo to same growth phenomenon.

Bone Lengthening in Children

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2006
Complications arising from limb-lengthening procedures are often severe leading to long-term residuals. The aim of this study was to determine whether the complication rate and complexity could be predicted using a distraction index for bone lengthening in children.This study retrospectively reviewed a series of 116 lower limbs lengthening in 88 ...
