Distraction osteogenesis methods are indicated in cases of deformity when alternative surgery is not able to produce adequate anatomic restoration and functionality of the foot and ankle. Recent advances in deformity evaluation and techniques of correction may encourage a greater number of surgeons to incorporate distraction osteogenesis into their treatment of complex foot and ankle problems.

Limb lengthening and deformity correction techniques, particularly distraction osteogenesis, have significantly evolved in pediatric orthopedics. This study examines the temporal changes of key biochemical markers-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF-1), and the propeptide of type I collagen (P1NP)-during the limb lengthening process. Twenty pediatric patients (aged 13-16) underwent distraction osteogenesis using the Circular Hexapod External Fixator.

Objective: To describe the characteristics of short arm deformity in patients with achondroplasia, and summarize the progress of its lenthening and reconstruction, so as to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: The literature on the lenthening of upper limb with achondroplastic short arm deformity at home and abroad in recent years was reviewed, and the characteristics, extension methods, postoperative management, effectiveness evaluation, and related complications of short arm deformity were summarized.
Results: Achondroplastic short arm deformity affect the patient's daily perineal hygiene activities.
