Distraction 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 کاملPercutaneous distraction lengthening in brachymetacarpia.
Brachymetacarpia is a condition manifesting a shortened metacarpal that is caused by early closure of the epiphyseal plate and believed to arise idiopathically. The correction for brachymetacarpia is usually for cosmetic reasons as brachymetacarpia does not impair function. The literature indicates several different approaches to lengthening digits, including single-stage lengthening and rapid ...
متن کاملMetacarpal lengthening by distraction osteogenesis in childhood brachydactyly.
Metacarpal lengthening was performed by callus distraction in six children with brachydactyly. Four of the patients were girls and two were boys, with ages ranging from 10 to 14 years (mean age: 12 years). Four of the patients had brachydactyly resulting from injury to the hand and damage to the epiphysis related to infection, while the other two had congenital brachymetacarpia. Two patients ha...
متن کاملComplications associated with bone lengthening of the lower limb by callotasis.
The present study aims to assess the incidence of complications related to bone lengthening procedures and to identify factors that may predict these complications. We retrospectively studied 51 lengthening procedures in 39 patients (mean age 13 years) from 2001 to 2015. A circular external fixator was used in 37 procedures and a monolateral fixator in 14 procedures. Duration of distraction, fi...
متن کاملSubsidence of callotasis zone in distraction osteogenesis after external fixator removal, measured by RSA
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In clinical practice, achieved lengthening of a callotasis zone should be maintained after the external fixator has been removed. The common understanding has been that the regenerated bone may subside. To investigate this, we used high-resolution radiostereometric analysis (RSA) with accurate measurement of the lengthening zone. PATIENTS AND METHODS We assessed the lon...
