Presenting an overview of the current uses of orthodontic orthodontic devices, this practical guide is well illustrated with a review of the history of elongation of the extremities from the early external fixer to the massive Elzarov discoveries, with a summary of the new bone biology forming in the widening distraction gap. This is followed by post-Ilizarov developments with external stabilizers designed for ease of use and increased patient tolerance for these devices, as well as discussion on intracranial lengthening devices from early mechanical specialists to the latest implants, with detailed surgical principles, prior to collaborative planning and specific operative techniques.

The final chapters focus on the prevention and treatment of complications of surgery from day to day. A unique feature of the book is the Atlas of the upper and lower limbs, which will help surgeons avoid structural neural vascular structures during the less invasive parts of implantation.

Endometrial lengthening: Principles and practices are ideal, an immediate resource for orthopedic surgeons, residents and trainees who treat child and adult child and adult malformations, as well as physiotherapists and other health care providers who administer these patients after surgery.
