Samenvatting

Een belangrijke verbetering in de behandeling van beenlengteverschil is de introductie van de Intramedullary Skeletal Kinetic Distractor (iskd). Deze voor femur en tibia geschikte grendelpen combineert de voordelen van intramedul-laire fixatie met de mogelijkheid van beenverlenging. De relatief hoge kosten van de pen wegen op tegen de reductie van het aantal complicaties bij gebruik van een fixateur externe ten behoeve van beenverlenging.1

Abstract

A major improvement in limb lengthening is the introduction of the Intramedullary Skeletal Kinetic Distractor (ISKD). The ISKD is designed for the femur and tibia and combines the advantages of intramedullary stabilisation with the possibility of limb lengthening. Considering the low rate of complications compared with application of external fixation in leg lengthening, the higher costs of this implant are acceptable.
