Abstract

We present the details of our studies of leg lengthening since 1962. The operative technique is outlined and the experiments upon which we have based our method are described. The factors which determine the choice of operation and influence its outcome are discussed, the results of 252 tibial and 58 femoral lengthenings are analysed and our conclusions given.
