External fixation for distraction osteogenesis

Richard Gellman et al. Foot Ankle Clin. 2004 Sep.

Abstract

Distraction osteogenesis methods are indicated in cases of deformity when alternative surgery is not able to produce adequate anatomic restoration and functionality of the foot and ankle. Recent advances in deformity evaluation and techniques of correction may encourage a greater number of surgeons to incorporate distraction osteogenesis into their treatment of complex foot and ankle problems.
