Leg 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 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 کاملBilateral 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.

متن کاملIntramedullary limb lengthening with the Intramedullary Skeletal Kinetic Distractor in the lower limb.
We report the results of intramedullary leg lengthening conducted between 2002 and 2009 using the Intramedullary Skeletal Kinetic Distractor in 69 unilateral lengthenings involving 58 femora and 11 tibiae. We identified difficulties that occurred during the treatment and assessed whether they were specifically due to the implant or independent of it. Paley's classification for evaluating proble...
متن کاملLimb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society AIM index reliably assesses lower limb deformity.
BACKGROUND Although several systems exist for classifying specific limb deformities, there currently are no validated rating scales for evaluating the complexity of general lower limb deformities. Accurate assessment of the complexity of a limb deformity is essential for successful treatment. A committee of the Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Society (LLRS) therefore developed the LLRS AIM ...
