Callus distraction is the standard procedure for the operative treatment of leg length discrepancy. The deformity is analysed prior to surgery. Clinical assessment and imaging allow precise quantification. The procedure is performed by ring or unilateral frame and or i.m. nail in a continuous mode. The bone cut is performed percutaneously. Associated axial or rotational deformities are corrected simultaneously--acutely or in a continuous mode. Callus distraction is preferably applied during childhood. For good outcome control of the patient is important during the inpatient and outpatient treatment. Physiotherapy and orthotic treatment are mandatory, the same as the management of complications.
