Progressive bone lengthening in Rabat

Orthopedist Traumatologist

The intervention consists of performing an osteotomy of the bone (forearm bone, femur, etc.) and then gradually lengthening it by distraction. Once the desired length has been reached, it is necessary to wait for bone consolidation. The reference technique uses an external fixator. It is a device placed on the outside of the limb and connected to the bone by metal pins. This technique has many complications, especially infections and stiffening of the joints. Mechanical implants then appeared.
