Chondrodiatasis-controlled symmetrical distraction of the epiphyseal plate. Limb lengthening in children.
We describe a technique for slow, progressive, symmetrical distraction of the growth plate using a lightweight dynamic axial fixation system. Results are given for the elongation of 40 bony segments in children with limb-length discrepancies and 60 segments in children with achondroplasia or hypochondroplasia. Increases in limb length of up to 36% were obtained in non-achondroplastic and up to ...
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 کاملLimb lengthening with a submuscular locking plate.
Ten patients, who were unsuitable for limb lengthening over an intramedullary nail, underwent lengthening with a submuscular locking plate. Their mean age at operation was 18.5 years (11 to 40). After fixing a locking plate submuscularly on the proximal segment, an external fixator was applied to lengthen the bone after corticotomy. Lengthening was at 1 mm/day and on reaching the target length,...
متن کاملPreliminary clinical research on epiphyseal distraction in osteosarcoma in children
BACKGROUND The feasibility of distal femur epiphysis preservation through epiphyseal distraction by external fixator in childhood osteosarcoma was explored. METHODS Between July 2007 and May 2011, 10 children who were suffering from distal femur osteosarcoma received epiphyseal distraction by external fixator, combined with tumor resection and repair with massive allograft bone to preserve th...
متن کاملSymmetrical epiphyseal destruction by frostbite.
There have been only single reports about the radiological changes in bones subsequent to frostbite in childhood and adolescence. We found only three cases on this subject in the literature. L6hr (1930) described a case in a 16-year-old boy; Bennett and Blount (1935) published the report of an 8-year-old girl, and Thelander (1950) of a 9-yearold boy. There are some thorough studies on this subj...
