Leg lengthening and bone transport in children.

R A Hill1, S K Tucker.   

Abstract

It is now possible to reliably lengthen limbs for inequality or short stature by distraction osteogenesis using external fixators. Similar techniques offer new methods of treating infected fractures and non-unions and correcting soft tissue contractures and bony deformities. This article outlines the techniques and indications for leg lengthening and bone transport.
