Shortening and in situ relengthening versus bone transport for the treatment of metaphyseal defect of lower limb long bones
Compared with BT, SISRL was associated with reduced EFT, EFI, and patients' pain during the distraction phase. Due to lengthening occurring at the location of the bone defect, SISRL was associated with better preservation of the adjacent joint function and avoidance of problems at the docking site. It showed superior clinical results with metaphyseal segmental defect of lower limb long bones after trauma and infection.
