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 […]

Understanding Nonunion of Long Bone Fractures & How to Choose Between Ilizarov and MonoRail Fixators
1. What Is Long Bone Fracture Non-Union? A non-union occurs when a fracture does not heal on its own without further intervention. Clinically, most sources define this as persistence of a fracture after at least 6–9 months with no progression toward union in the last 3 bulan . Non-unions are often categorized as: Hypertrophic (biologically active but mechanically unstable) […]
