Femoral lengthening using the Precice intramedullary limb-lengthening system

Abstract

This study confirms excellent results in femoral lengthening with antegrade and retrograde Precice nails. There is a trend for better healing and less restriction in hip and knee movement following antegrade nails. There are clinical scenarios, that mandate the use of a retrograde nail. However, when these are not present, we recommend the use of antegrade nailing. Cite this article: <i>Bone Joint J</i> 2019;101-B:1168-1176.
