  • Title: Angulation occurring during the distraction lengthening of digits.
    Author: Wenner SM.
    Journal: Orthop Rev; 1986 Mar; 15(3):177-9. PubMed ID: 3453458.
    Abstract:
    Distraction lengthening of congenitally short digits is an accepted reconstructive procedure in hand surgery. A previously unreported complication of angulation occurring during distraction was treated by open reduction and insertion of a longitudinally placed, smooth Kirschner wire. The wire functioned as a spindle along which the distraction of the osteotomized bone fragments was continued. A satisfactory result was achieved.
