Post-traumatic distraction osteogenesis lengthening of the shortened fingers
Mohamed Elsayed Mohamed
Ahmed Maher Teaching Hospital, Egypt
Background:
Distraction osteogenesis lengthening is a method of finger reconstruction. This study presents and evaluates the use,
complications and outcome of distraction osteogenesis lengthening of post traumatic amputated fingers.
Methods:
20 post traumatic shortened digits in 15 patients underwent distraction osteogenesis lengthening as a method for
reconstruction after loss of the fingers. We reviewed outcomes, complications after completion of the procedure.
Results:
The results are good and satisfactory regarding the function and cosmesis, especially in the amputated thumb cases. There
were no major complications, difficult to deal with.
Conclusion:
Distraction osteogenesis lengthening can be used as an alternative reconstructive method especially if there is any
contraindication for the use of other difficult options of reconstruction like microsurgical procedures.
