Abstract:
Limb lengthening by means of distraction through the callus of a knee arthrodesis was performed in a 14-year-old boy with congenital hypoplasia of one lower limb. Knee arthrodesis was indicated because of destruction of the distal femoral epiphysis caused by a previous bone lengthening procedure.
