چکیده
We report the results of Ilizarov gradual distraction to regain 6.7 cm of leg length in a severely contracted hip 11 months after a resection arthroplasty. Restoration of leg length allowed revision hip arthroplasty. At 24 months after the revision arthroplasty, the patient is ambulating independently and pain free. The use of Ilizarov gradual distraction restored leg length and facilitated postoperative function.
