Der Orthopäde, 2000
Limb lengthening in dwarfism has become a standardised procedure with a good prognosis. In most cases external fixation is used. Gain of leg length up to 15 cm and more is possible in the lower leg and the femur and 8.5 cm in the humerus. Limb lengthening is useful in many cases of dwarfism due to skeletal dysplasia.

Hand Clinics, 2000
Congenital deficiencies and developmental deformities of the upper extremity often result in complex deformities that include, to variable degrees, shortening and angulation. Because of the nonweight-bearing status of the upper extremity, these deformities are better tolerated and often of less functional significance than their counterparts in the ...

Ultrasonographic monitoring of limb lengthening
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1992Limb lengthening in nine patients was monitored by radiographs and by ultrasound scans. The distraction gap appeared as a sonolucent area within which echogenic foci developed soon after distraction commenced. By seven weeks a new cortex was detected, and medullary canal began to develop between seven and eight weeks.

The effects of limb lengthening on growth
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, Part B, 2003The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of limb lengthening on the rate of growth of the lengthened limb. The rate of growth of the lengthened and control (contralateral) limb segment were determined radiographically pre- and postoperatively in 19 skeletally immature patients (20 limbs).

Limb lengthening by epiphyseal distraction
International Orthopaedics, 1981Limb lengthening has been obtained using the technique of “epiphyseal separation-distraction”, initially in animal experiments and subsequently in operations on twenty-six human patients. The increase of length obtained ranged from 5–11 cm in the tibia and femur. There was no need for osteotomy, internal osteosynthesis, or bone grafting. The quality of

Lengthening of the Lower Limbs in Achondroplastics
1988Lengthening the lower limbs of short stature patients to increase their height is a surgical procedure we undertake exclusively in cases of dysharmonic hyposomia, the most common of which is achondroplasia. The achondroplastic is a dwarf (mean height in adulthood does not exceed 125–130 centimetres) in whom the limbs are noticeably disproportional to ...

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.

The principles and technique of limb lengthening
International Orthopaedics, 1981We present the details of our studies of leg lengthening since 1962. The operative technique is outlined and the experiments upon which we have based our method are described. The factors which determine the choice of operation and influence its outcome are discussed, the results of 252 tibial and 58 femoral lengthenings are analysed and our ...

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.
