Limb 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 کاملLimb 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 کاملLengthening over nails using the double plate system ONAS-DPS.
Stable insertion of large Schanz screws behind an intramedullary (IM) nail when lengthening over nails (LON) may be difficult due to the limited bone stock. Additionally, the highly probable contact between the screws and IM nail (which is difficult to avoid) increases the likelihood of infection spreading from the skin via Schanz screws directly to the IM nail. A new device for LON has been de...

A unique combination of external and internal fixation techniques, for a fibular lengthening procedure using the Ilizarov method is described. The technique is minimally invasive, allows precise deformity correction, enables early weight bearing, and minimizes the time that the patient wears the external fixator. Introduction Bone lengthening procedures have, over time, been approached in a var...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether distraction osteogenesis can be used to treat hypertrophic nonunion associated with angular deformity and shortening after Coventry style high tibial osteotomy. Five consecutive patients were retrospectively reviewed. In all cases, the alignment had collapsed into excessive varus or valgus and leg length discrepancy was present. The leg length ...
