Eight patients had tibial lengthening procedures according to Anderson's method. The necessity of early determination of callus formation and bone grafting, if necessary, is emphasized. The potential morbidity in this procedure is great and the parents must be made fully aware of them. As Anderson states, it is a procedure that should be reserved for the child between 8 and 12 years old with a predictable discrepancy between 4 and 15 cm. We believe it is a useful procedure in problems of unequal length of the lower limbs but should not be used whem simpler procedures such as femoral shortening or epiphyseal arrest are indicated.
8例患者按照安德森方法进行了胫骨延长手术。强调了早期确定骨痂形成的必要性，如有必要还需进行骨移植。该手术潜在的发病率很高，必须让家长充分了解这些情况。正如安德森所说，该手术应仅用于8至12岁、预计肢体长度差异在4至15厘米之间的儿童。我们认为，该手术在解决下肢不等长问题方面是一种有用的方法，但当有更简单的手术方法，如股骨缩短或骨骺阻滞可用时，则不应使用。
