Case Reports: Lengthening and Reconstruction of Congenital Leg Deficiencies for Enhanced Prosthetic Wear
Congenital limb deficiencies with severe shortening and/or deformity can be difficult to fit with a prosthesis. We report two patients in whom gradual lengthening and deformity correction with the Ilizarov/Taylor spatial frameâ„¢ was used to improve prosthesis fit, comfort, and gait
