Limb Lengthening by Implantable Limb Lengthening Devices
Implantable limb lengthening using noninvasively adjusted telescopic nails dates back to 1983. The newest technology is the Precice (Ellipse Technologies). A retrospective study of the first 65 Precice nails was carried out for the treatment of limb length discrepancy (unilateral) and short stature (bilateral). Successful lengthening was achieved in all patients. There were numerous distraction...
متن کاملDistraction lengthening by callotasis in the hand.
The clinical results of 26 digits (18 patients) lengthened by distraction callotasis were evaluated and the factors which influenced healing were analysed. There were 14 men and four women, with a mean age of 39 years. All digits had suffered traumatic amputation. There were eight thumbs and 18 fingers. The level of the site of the osteotomy was at the proximal metaphysis in ten, the middle dia...
متن کاملLimb lengthening by distraction of the epiphyseal plate. A comparison of two techniques in the rabbit.
We have compared, in rabbits, two techniques of limb lengthening by distraction of the epiphyseal plate using a unilateral external fixation frame. In all cases, 14 mm of symmetrical lengthening without deviation was achieved. With rapid distraction at rates of 1 mm per day (distractional epiphyseolysis) separation of the epiphysis from the metaphysis occurred by day 7, and by day 70 almost com...
متن کاملDistraction by a monotube fixator to achieve limb lengthening: predictive factors for tibia trauma
BACKGROUND Management of post trauma tibia bone gap varied with orthopedic surgeons' experience and tools available. Study aims to determine predictive factors for distraction by a monotube fixator (DMF) outcome in post tibia trauma limb length discrepancy. METHODS A prospective descriptive cross sectional study of post traumatized tibia bone gap and limb length discrepancy patients at tertia...
متن کاملExperimental physeal distraction in immature sheep.
An experimental study on physeal distraction was carried out in the distal femur of 45 two-month-old lambs for the purpose of identifying the basic mechanism of lengthening as well as assessing growth cartilage viability after lengthening. The animals were divided into three groups, each with three subgroups, according to the distraction rate employed (2 mm/day, 1 mm/day, 0.5 mm/day) and the ti...
