title: [Lengthening of long bones by the method of slow lysis of the epiphyses. Preliminary report].
abstract: The authors have presented a preliminary report on the results of elongation of the lower extremities by the bloodless method of slow disruption of the long bones epiphyses based on the observation of 6 cases. The treatment was applied in the children just before bone growth has been finished. Bone rebuilding at the site of elongation was obtained at 4 to 6 months after the start of distraction. In that period, union of the epiphyseal cartilage was present in 5 from 6 treated patients. The authors believe that the presented method of elongation of the lower extremities can be recommended.
