Limb Lengthening by Callus Distraction (Callotasis)
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1987Callotasis is a new technique of limb lengthening involving slow distraction of the callus formed in response to a proximal submetaphyseal corticotomy. Using a dynamic axial fixator with telescoping capabilities, distraction begins after 2 weeks. When the required length is attained, the fixator is held in the rigid mode until radiographic evidence of ...

Alternatives to Limb Lengthening
2017Pelvic tilting can compensate for small differences in limb length. Classically, shoe lifts provide the simplest solution to limb length discrepancy. In growing children, surgically induced growth arrest or retardation of the longer side may equalize limb lengths.

Limb Lengthening: Computerized
2014Intramedullary distraction nails are high compliance systems, providing the advantage of being implanted entirely under the skin, thus effectively lowering the risk of infection. The Fitbone® nails are equipped with a motor drive and a gear which is able to apply more than 1,500 N axial force.

[Limb lengthening in children].
Cirugia pediatrica : organo oficial de la Sociedad Espanola de Cirugia Pediatrica, 1991Limb lengthening is a common used callotasis technique. A dynamic axial fixator system with telescoping capabilities permits a slow distraction and becomes a proximal submetaphyseal corticotomy callus. In the last two years we realized seven limb lengthening in children under fourteen years old, five of them were unilateral dismetry and one of them an ...
