E. Samara et al., « Pédiatrie - Clous d’allongement internes : nouvelle méthode de reconstruction des membres inférieurs [Pédiatrie - Internal lengthening nails: a novel method of lower limb reconstruction in children] », Serveur académique Lausannois, ID : 10.53738/REVMED.2023.19.812.234
Intramedullary lengthening nails for lower limb reconstruction in children are a rapidly growing field and represent an alternative to external fixators. Today, two types of intramedullary lengthening nails are used: motorized (FITBONE) and magnetically driven (PRECISE) bone lengthening nails. Indications for limb lengthening nails are: 1) Significant lower limb length discrepancy; 2) Short stature and deformities due to musculoskeletal or dysplastic syndromes; 3) Constitutional short stature. Intramedullary lengthening surgery is challenging and represents a safe and reliable mode of treatment in patients under 18 years of age with an excellent reported outcome.
