Mastering Callotasis: The Science and Strategy of Bone Lengthening
Callotasis as a Bone Elongation Method Callotasis, also known as distraction osteogenesis, is a surgical technique that prompts bone regeneration through gradual mechanical distraction. Following a controlled osteotomy, a distraction device,commonly an external fixator is applied. This initiates a sequence of healing phases where mechanical tension stimulates new bone formation in the gap between bone […]

Delapan lempeng vs.. Lempeng Rekonstruksi dalam Pertumbuhan Terpandu Anak
1. PENDAHULUAN kelainan bentuk sudut ekstremitas anak pediatrik, seperti lutut air (Bowlegs) dan asli Valgum (Knee-lutut), require timely intervention to prevent joint degeneration and improve gait and aesthetics. In growing children, guided growth, also known as temporary hemiepiphysiodesis, is a minimally invasive solution that leverages the child’s remaining growth potential to correct deformity gradually. Among the […]
