Limb lengthening over plate

open access: yesIndian Journal of Orthopaedics, 2012
The limb lengthening over plate eliminates the associated risk of infection with limb lengthening over intramedullary nail. We present our experience of limb lengthening in 15 patients with a plate fixed on the proximal segment, followed by corticotomy and application of external fixator.15 patients (7 females, 8 males) were included in this ...
