Summary

Submuscular plating after femur lengthening significantly reduces external fixation time. Both standard and modified techniques are safe, with modified plating easing insertion in deformed bones.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomechanical engineering

Background:

  • Distraction osteogenesis of the femur often requires prolonged external fixation.
  • Submuscular plating can potentially shorten this period.
  • Femoral lengthening may necessitate angular correction, requiring specific plating techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of submuscular plating after femur lengthening.
  • To compare standard and modified plating techniques.
  • To assess the duration of external fixation and associated complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of eight cases utilizing standard and modified submuscular plating techniques.
  • Assessment of lengthening achieved, distraction period, and external fixator index.
  • Evaluation of complications including joint stiffness, contractures, and infections.

Main Results:

  • Mean lengthening was 5cm (range 3-9cm).
  • External fixation index ranged from 18 to 58 days/cm.
  • No joint subluxation, deep infection, re-fracture, or implant failures occurred. Minor complications like quadriceps contracture and transient knee stiffness were managed successfully.

Conclusions:

  • Submuscular plating, both standard and modified, is a safe and effective method for femur lengthening.
  • This technique significantly reduces the duration of external fixation.
  • The modified technique facilitates easier plate insertion in cases with bone deformity.
