AbstractThe new technology of motorized intramedullary telescopic nails has simplified the treatment for upper limb lengthening surgery. Improved patient comfort, low infection rates and absence of fractures in the regenerated bone are contrasted by the limitations of the methods, such as a current maximum distraction of 5cm and the fact that they cannot be used when the growth plates are still open.
