Abstract
In 1905, Codivilla (1) first reported the lengthening of the femur to correct a limb length discrepancy through osseous distraction, which was performed immediately after the fracture occurred. In 1927, Abbott (2) described lengthening in the tibia. However, the true clinical impact was not realized until the early 1950s when Ilizarov (3) began his long venture into clinical, biological, engineering, and basic science research in the fields of traumatology and orthopedics, utilizing the canine long bone as a model. These endeavors led to the discovery of general principles governing the stimulation of tissue growth and regeneration during distraction. Ilizarov designed the first scientific protocol on human bone lengthening. He demonstrated that gradual traction on living tissues created stresses that stimulated and maintained the regeneration and active growth of certain tissue structures (4).
