Abstract

We modified the original Ilizarov frame described for femoral lengthening and used two full rings fixed by 3 tensioned wires for each with an osteotomy in the distal metaphyseal area. Four femoral lengthenings were performed and followed up for at least 30 months. Average age of our patients was 15 years and length gain was 74±18mm with one patient had concomitant correction of valgus deformity. The planned lengthening was achieved in all patients with healing index 19±2 days/cm. Advantages for this low profile frame are mainly less bulky external fixator and fewer transosseous elements and therefore pin site problems.
