Epiphysiolysis as a Method of Limb Lengthening
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1978Epiphysiolysis followed by distraction was performed at the proximal tibial growth plates in 18 young rabbits. Union across the distracted plate occurred in all animals. In 12 rabbits skeletally immature at operation, premature fusion of the separated plate resulted in growth arrest of the operated limb.

Force feedback in limb lengthening
2010 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology, 2010A new variable-rate distraction system using a motorized distractor driven by feedback from the distraction force was designed. The distractor was mounted on a unilateral fixator and attached to the tibiae of 6 sheep that underwent distraction osteogenesis. The sheep were divided equally into 3 groups.

A formula for diaphyseal limb lengthening
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1990Calculation of the expected limb length discrepancy at maturity plays an important part in the timing of operations designed to equalise length. Present methods assume similar pre-operative and postoperative rates of bone growth in limbs undergoing diaphysea! lengthening procedures.

Problems with Substantial Limb Lengthening
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1991Limb lengthening takes careful planning and meticulous outpatient care and still is burdened by minor complications. Experience may lessen major complications, but pin tract problems, swelling, and pain will plague these patients. A large group of patients can benefit from lengthening procedures, and new techniques are improving the risk-benefit ...

Limb Lengthening in Short Stature Patients
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics B, 2001A series of 140 patients with short stature operated on for limb lengthening (80 had achondroplasia, 20 had hypochondroplasia, 20 had Turner syndrome, 10 had idiopathic short stature due to an undemonstrated cause, 5 regarded their stature as too short, and 5 had a psychopathic personality due to dysmorphophobia that had developed because of their ...

Limb Lengthening for Achondroplasia
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1989Three adolescent patients underwent limb lengthening for achondroplasia by the DeBastiani technique. Average increase in length was 15.4 cm (37.7%) per limb. Bone formation was excellent, and there were no neurovascular complications or infections. Numerous problems were encountered during treatment, but there were only two residual complications in ...

Current Techniques of Limb Lengthening
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1988Limb lengthening is still a major procedure with potentially serious complications. It does not, however, deserve the reputation it gained over the last few years. With a proper understanding of the biology, biomechanics, and strategies of lengthening, excellent results can be consistently obtained with relatively few complications.

Bone regeneration and limb lengthening
Osteoporosis International, 2011Regeneration 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.

A Brief History of Limb Lengthening
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2017In the last 35 years, orthopaedic surgeons have witnessed 3 major advances in the technique of limb lengthening: “distraction osteogenesis” facilitated by Gavriil Ilizarov method and infinitely-adaptable circular fixator with fine-wire bone fragment fixation; the introduction of the “6-strut” computer program-assisted circular fixators to effect ...
