The operative elongation of limbs has long been a goal of orthopaedic surgeons. Indeed, the very first external skeletal fixators, although designed for stabilization of displaced fractures, were also used to overcome the posttrauma shortening that so commonly accompanies fracture deformities.
肢体的手术延长长期以来一直是骨科医生的目标。事实上,最早的外骨骼固定器,尽管是为稳定移位骨折而设计的,但也被用于克服创伤后常见的伴随骨折畸形的肢体缩短。
