The limb lengthening process works by gradually growing new
bone and soft tissues (skin, muscle, nerves, blood vessels,
etc). This new growth is called tissue regeneration. Bone
and soft tissue regenerate when they are distracted (pulled
apart) at a very slow rate of approximately 1 mm per day. If
the rate of distraction is faster than this, bone may fail
to form between the two ends of the bone that are being
pulled apart and soft tissues, such as muscle, may
experience contracture (get too tight) or nerves may become
paralyzed.
If the rate of distraction is too slow, premature
consolidation may |
 |
occur (the bone may consolidate too soon),
preventing the lengthening device from
further pulling it apart. The lengthening
devices used could be external fixators or
those that are fully implanted inside the
bone.
There are two phases of lengthening until
the bone is fully healed: the distraction
phase and the consolidation phase. The
former is the lengthening phase. After the
desired length is obtained, the newly
regenerated bone is still very weak because
of lack of calcium within it. The hardening
and calcification of this new bone is called
the consolidation phase.
