Peripheral nerve lengthening by controlled isolated distraction: a new animal model.
We have developed a simple and effective animal model to study the distraction neurogenesis utilizing the sciatic nerve-lengthening technique in rats. The model allows macroscopic, physiological, and histological evaluation of the distraction site. Fourteen adult Harlan Sprague Dawley rats (300-350 g) were used in this study. A 10 mm segment of the right sciatic nerve of each animal in the nerv...
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 کاملSuccessful Reconstruction of Nerve Defects Using Distraction Neurogenesis with a New Experimental Device
Introduction: Repair of peripheral nerve injuries is an intensive area of challenge and research in modern reconstructive microsurgery. Intensive research is being carried out to develop effective alternatives to the standard nerve autografting, avoiding its drawbacks. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly designed mechanical device for the reconstruction of the...
متن کاملHumeral lengthening by distraction osteogenesis: a safe procedure?
This study was conducted to assess the safety of humeral lengthening using an Ilizarov frame. We retrospectively reviewed 26 humeral segments in 17 patients that were lengthened at our department between 1993 and 2011. There were varying aetiologies including achondroplasia, epiphyseal dysplasia, Oilier disease, trauma or infection of the proximal humeral growth-plate, unicameral bone cyst and ...
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 ...
