Lengthening over Plate
Lengthening over plate involves the placement of a bone plate along with an external fixator device. The bone plate provides stability, while the fixator allows for controlled mechanical distraction of the bone segments.
Benefits of
Procedure
1
Enhanced Stability
The combination of a bone plate and external fixator provides increased stability during the lengthening process, reducing the risk of complications such as malalignment or joint contractures.
2
Minimized Soft Tissue Disruption
BLengthening over plate minimizes disruption to surrounding soft tissues compared to external fixator-only techniques, leading to faster recovery and improved patient comfort.
3
Precise Lengthening Control
Surgeons have precise control over the lengthening process, allowing for optimal bone alignment and healing while minimizing the risk of complications.
