The humerus is the best place for bone lengthening [PDF]
International Orthopaedics, 2007 The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of lengthening the humerus in children and young adults. Between 1984 and 2005, the Orthopaedic Department of Semmelweis University elongated 11 humeri (ten patients) for reasons of congenital hypoplasia (four cases), osteomyelitis (three cases), epiphyseolysis, growth plate closure after ...

Measurement of bone lengthening forces; an experimental model in the lamb
Clinical Biomechanics, 1997 OBJECTIVE: To obtain the mechanical behaviour pattern of the lengthening process. DESIGN. IN VIVO: measurement of forces during bone lengthening in lambs. BACKGROUND: A series of parameters of a mechanical and biological nature have a bearing on all lengthening processes, and most of them are not fully understood.

Facial bone lengthening apparatus with expander and miniplates [PDF]
Sao Paulo Medical Journal, 1994 Since 1869, bone lengthening has been pursued; when Langenbeck (13) tried growing a shortened bone extremity utilizing for this an arteriovenous fistula in the thigh. At the begining of this century, codovilla (1905) (5,14) introduced bone lenghtening methods for lower limbs.
