  • Title: Leg lengthening and bone transport in children.
    Author: Hill RA, Tucker SK.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; ; 57(8):399-404. PubMed ID: 9274665.
    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.
