Femoral Lengthening with MAC External Fixation System
摘要
This case demonstrates the result of lengthening of a congenitally short femur with the MAC external fixation system. A limb length discrepancy (LLD) of 7.2 cm was corrected with a single osteotomy and callotasis over a period of 5 months at the age of 18 years using a multi-axial correcting (MAC) monolateral external fixation system (Biomet, Warsaw, IN).
