A retrieval analysis of the Precice intramedullary limb lengthening system

Abstract

This study confirms less internal corrosion following modification, but evidence of titanium debris remains. We recommend no change to current clinical practice. However, potential reuse of the Precice nail, for secondary limb lengthening in the same patient, should be undertaken with caution.<b>Cite this article</b>: V. C. Panagiotopoulou, K. Davda, H. S.
