Bilateral double level tibial lengthening in dwarfism.
PURPOSE Outcome assessment after double level tibial lengthening in patients with dwarfism. METHODS Fourteen patients with dwarfism were analyzed after bilateral simultaneous double level tibial lengthening. RESULTS Average age was 15.1 years. Average lengthening was 13.5 cm. The two levels were lengthened by an average of 7.5 cm proximally and 6.0 cm distally. Concomitant deformities were ...
متن کاملMyotopography in Tibial Lengthening
Limb lengthening by Ilizarov lengthens not just the long bone, but also the soft tissues too. Damage of the musclesduring corticotomy and their stretching during distraction play a crucial role in occurrence of complications and finallimb function. We present here a systematic codified nomenclature system of each muscle summarising all theinfluence that corticotomy and distraction have the part...
متن کاملFibula-related complications during bilateral tibial lengthening
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Complications related to the fibula during distraction osteogenesis could cause malalignment. Most published studies have analyzed only migration of the fibula during lengthening, with few studies examining the effects of fibular complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 120 segments (in 60 patients) between 2002 and 2009. All patients underwent bi...
متن کاملLeg lengthening in Turner dwarfism.
We have reviewed 16 patients treated by leg lengthening for various forms of Turner dwarfism with regard to the long period of healing and the complications. We consider that Turner dwarfism is a suitable indication for leg lengthening because of the moderate length deficit and the morphological appearance of the patients, and have introduced an improved programme of management to deal with the...
متن کاملTibial lengthening over intramedullary nails
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the results and complications of tibial lengthening over an intramedullary nail with treatment using the traditional Ilizarov method. METHODS In this matched case study, 16 adult patients underwent 19 tibial lengthening over nails (LON) procedures. For the matched case group, 17 patients who underwent 19 Ilizarov tibial lengthenings were ret...
