Subsidence 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...
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 کاملAnesthetic concerns of external maxillary distraction osteogenesis.
BACKGROUND External maxillary distractions present additional anesthetic concerns to the existing complexity of the patient with craniofacial disorder. The distraction hardware is rigidly fixed to the cranium and projects in the frontofacial midline, thus limiting oronasal airway access. METHODS A review of 16 patients (10 male, 6 female) having external maxillary distraction was done. Patien...
متن کاملFracture after distraction osteogenesis.
We reviewed 173 patients undergoing distraction osteogenesis to determine the incidence, location and timing of fractures occurring as a complication of the procedure. There were 17 fractures in 180 lengthened segments giving an overall rate of fracture of 9.4%. Unexpectedly, the pattern and location of the fractures were very variable; six were within the regenerate itself, six at the junction...
متن کاملApplication of locked intramedullary nails in the treatment of complications after distraction osteogenesis.
Distraction osteogenesis (callotasis) has been widely used in patients with limb-length inequality or massive bone defects. This procedure, however, may be associated with a high incidence of physical and psychosocial complications. Callotasis telescoping on a locked intramedullary nail has been used to shorten the period of external fixation. Little attention has been given to the use of locke...
