A formula for diaphyseal limb lengthening

The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1990
Calculation 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.

Limb Lengthening for Achondroplasia

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1989
Three 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 ...

The Callotasis Method of Limb Lengthening

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1989
Callotasis is a lengthening technique that involves slow, controlled distraction after subperiosteal-submetaphyseal osteotomy. The technique and its advantages over other methods are described. Results of lengthenings involving 270 operated bone segments (146 femurs and 124 tibias) in 140 patients are reviewed.

Problems with Substantial Limb Lengthening

Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1991
Limb 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 ...

Intramedullary Limb-Lengthening

JBJS Reviews, 2019
» With the use of blocking screws, acute deformity corrections can be combined with intramedullary limb-lengthening.» Tibial lengthening with an intramedullary nail requires a longer latency period and a gentle rate and rhythm compared with tibial lengthening with an external fixator.» Preparatory surgery is necessary to ...

Limb Lengthening in Short Stature Patients

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics B, 2001
A 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 ...

Current Techniques of Limb Lengthening

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1988
Limb 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, 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.

A Brief History of Limb Lengthening

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2017
In 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 ...
