[Continuous lengthening of the femur with intramedullary stabilisation (author's transl)].
Experimental studies on an intramedullary device for lengthening the femur by continuous distraction are reported. The hydraulic distractor is placed in a modified interlocking nail. Lengthening up to 8 cm--under certain circumstances up to 16 cm--can be achieved with this method.
