Limb Lengthening Surgery Methods
Over the first half of the 20th century, the lengthening devices ranged from the traction Thomas splint device of Codivilla, to various bed mounted and semi-portable external fixation devices. The early limb lengtheners employed distraction osteogenesis to fill the distraction gap produced by their fixators. It was not however until the 1950’s and 60’s that the biology of distraction osteogenesis became understood. This was largely due to Ilizarov and his group in Kurgan, USSR. Currently we use 3 methods for our surgeries.
