Distraction Osteogenesis for Brachymetatarsia by Using Internal Device

Distraction Osteogenesis for Brachymetatarsia by Using Internal Device

Summary:. Congenital brachymetatarsia most commonly involves the fourth ray and may be combined with metacarpal shortening. Now, many reports demonstrated the usefulness of distraction osteogenesis for lengthening of the metatarsals by using an external distraction device. In this article, we treate...

Congenital brachymetatarsia most commonly involves the fourth ray and may be combined with metacarpal shortening. Now, many reports demonstrated the usefulness of distraction osteogenesis for lengthening of the metatarsals by using an external distraction device. In this article, we treated shortening fourth metatarsal by bone lengthening using the internal distraction device. This technique has some advantages over the method of external distraction.http://journals.lww.com/prsgo/fulltext/10.1097/GOX.0000000000001381
