Long bone deformity correction and bone lengthening procedures

Excerpt

Last year’s 34th Annual Meeting of the European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society (EPOS) was held in Marseille, France, on 15–18 April. A comprehensive pre-meeting course held on 15 April was dedicated to many complex aspects of long-bone deformity correction and bone-lengthening procedures. The present issue of the Journal of Children’s Orthopaedics collates manuscripts of the presentations made at that advanced course, and thus provides a summary of the latest strategies for and descriptions of most of the more difficult approaches to long-bone correction and lengthening. References to some additional recent works in this field have also been added to the reference lists originally provided with the manuscripts. …
