Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] Conflict of interest statement: The authors declare that they have no competing interests. 18. Br J Hosp Med. 1997 Apr 16-May 6;57(8):399-404. Leg lengthening and bone transport in children. Hill RA(1), Tucker SK. Author information: (1)Hospital for Sick Children, London. 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.
