Wire bending development and progression during Ilizarov system tibial lengthening in skeletally immature patients with achondroplasia
Summary: Background: Tensile strength develops on wires during distraction osteogenesis (DO) using the Ilizarov system. The increase of tensile strength can lead to bending of the wires. The purpose of this study was to investigate the development and progression of wire bending during tibial lengt...
