Femoral Stump (Residual Limb) Lengthening with a Motorized Intramedullary Lengthening Rod

This is a case of a 26 year old male with bilateral traumatic femoral Femoral stump lengthening Residual limbamputations. The patient was unable to use a weight-bearing prosthesis on the left side due to a very short stump. The stump was lengthened 50 mm with a motorized intramedullary lengthening rod (Fitbone TAM, WITTENSTEIN Intens GmbH, Igersheim, Germany). Hereafter the patient could use a weight-bearing prosthesis.
