Comparison between bone lengthening using Ilizarov and lengthening over intramedullary nail
The Egyptian Orthopaedic JournalBackground Leg length discrepancy alters the biomechanics of the pelvis, hip, knee, and walking. It can occur due to congenital or acquired causes. Limb length discrepancy is always managed by lengthening the shortened limb by distraction osteogenesis.
