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.

Growing Bone: Lengthening and Grafting

2021
Reconstruction of extremities with segmental loss requires simultaneous and ongoing care of the patient’s overall physiology, extremity vascular status, infection treatment or prevention, and soft tissue coverage. However, for the bone itself, options for filling bone defects include distraction techniques and various grafting options.

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 ...

Lengthening of a One-Bone Forearm

Journal of Hand Surgery, 1998
An 8-year-old girl presented with marked shortening of the right forearm due to destruction of both the radius and ulna secondary to neonatal osteomyelitis. A one-bone forearm operation was performed to achieve a stable forearm. Two years later, the one-bone forearm was lengthened for 6 months by callus distraction (callotasis) achieving 12 cm of extra

Cirugia pediatrica : organo oficial de la Sociedad Espanola de Cirugia Pediatrica, 1994
Since June 1987, were realized 45 limb lengthening (40 lower and 5 upper) in 34 children with between 3-15 years old. A dynamic axial fixator (DAF) system with telescoping capabilities, permits a slow distraction through a osteotomy and callotasis in 36 bones, and chondrodiatasis in 5.

Femur Lengthening with a Vascularized Tibia Bone Flap

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1996
A vascularized tibial bone flap based on a single nutrient vessel has been previously proposed for use in long-bone reconstruction. While the routine use of the tibia for donor bone tissue is precluded by its essential weight-bearing function, in select cases it provides a useful alternative to standard donor bone sources.

Bone lengthening (distraction osteogenesis): a literature review

Osteoporosis International, 2011
Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a surgical technique widely used in orthopedic surgery for the treatment of various pathological conditions such as leg length discrepancy, bone deformity or bone defects. The basic principle of the callotasis technique includes performing a transverse bone section before gradually distracting the two bone segments. New

Thumb reconstruction through metacarpal bone lengthening

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1980
The experience with thumb reconstruction through metacarpal bone lengthening in 35 patients treated over a period of 12 years is presented. In 25 cases a spontaneous consolidation of the gap between the distracted fragments occurred, whereas in the remaining 10 the gap was bridged by a bone graft. The elongation of the metacarpal achieved varied from 2
