Quantitative evaluation of the effect of various factors on osteosynthesis periods for leg lengthening

The multivariate statistical analysis of treatment results in patients with leg shortening has been demonstrated from the standpoint of osteosynthesis durability. The use of treatment intensification methods (those of high-division distraction and stressed intramedullary reinforcement) has been shown to reduce the durability of external fixation significantly and also to give the possibility to expand the list of factors which allow to influence the osteosynthesis index (OI) reduction essentially
