Lengthening over nail (LON) and the use of internal lengthening nails have been developed to minimize patients' time in a frame during femur lengthening. This study compares the outcomes of two techniques of femur lengthening, LON and Intramedullary Skeletal Kinetic Distraction (ISKD). In this retrospective study, 12 consecutive ISKD procedures were performed for femoral lengthening and followed for an average of 76 months. After the ISKD group, 20 consecutive femoral lengthening procedures were performed as an LON technique and followed for an average of 27 months.Background
