Humeral lengthening in hypoplasia of the upper limb. 1985

A Dal Monte, and A Andrisano, and M Manfrini, and M Zucchi

Surgical treatment for the correction of upper limb discrepancies with primary involvement of the humerus is reported. The operative technique, the lengthening procedure with the G3-IOR distractor, and the successive external fixation are described. In the seven extremities treated, the mean lengthening was 5.0 cm, the mean percentage lengthening was 25.2%, and the mean residual discrepancy was 2.9 cm. The authors believe that humeral lengthening is advisable for 13- to 15-year-old patients with hypoplasia of the humerus when the discrepancy is greater than 3 cm.
