Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a kind of bone regeneration technology. The principle is to
incise the cortical bone and apply continuous and stable distraction force to the fractured …

The manual monitoring of callus with digital radiography (X-ray) is the primary bone healing
evaluation, assessing the number of bridged callus formations. However, this method is …

Background: Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is an approach for bone lengthening and
reconstruction. The pixel value ratio (PVR), an indicator calculated from X-ray images, is …

Background The clinical characteristics of bone nonunion during distraction osteogenesis
(DO) were rarely discussed. This study was employed to specify the difference between …

Background and purpose The heterogeneous outcomes used in lower-limb lengthening
surgery (LLLS) complicate evidence synthesis, weakening systematic reviews and clinical …

Materials and methods Thirty patients, divided into two groups of 15 each, underwent
antegrade intramedullary lengthening of the femur using a magnetic lengthening nail …

Materials and Methods: A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-
Analyses compliant systematic review was conducted. Studies investigating the use of …

Background Bone transport techniques are crucial for managing large bone defects, but the
optimal approach for different defect lengths remains unclear. This study aimed to compare …

Aims We aimed to explore the associations of the early PVR in four cortices with Healing
Index (HI), Lengthening Index (LI), and External Fixator Index (EFI) in the bone union and …

Aims The pixel value ratio (PVR) can be used to assess regenerate consolidation after
lengthening and guide advice for full weight-bearing (FWB). This study aimed to analyse the …
