Résumé / Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the use of a longitudinal corticotomy (S-Z osteotomy) results in more rapid consolidation following distraction osteogenesis of short tibiae. Sixty-seven lengthening procedures were performed in 51 patients ranging in age from nine to 38 (mean 25) years.
