Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Surgery Case Atlas: Trauma • Foot and Ankle, 2nd Edition

This second edition case atlas presents more than 450 unique cases contributed by domestic and international leaders in limb lengthening, deformity correction, and the Ilizarov method. It is organized into dedicated sections covering pediatrics, foot and ankle, trauma and post-traumatic reconstruction, adult deformity, tumor, and upper extremity interventions.

Each case follows a consistent chapter structure that outlines a brief clinical history, preoperative problem list, treatment strategy, basic principles, technical pearls, and guidance on how to avoid and manage complications and subsequent problems. Color photographs and radiographs document each case before, during, and after surgery, and suggested readings round out every entry.

The atlas features a comprehensive presentation of techniques including external fixation, internal fixation, combination approaches, fully implantable limb lengthening nails, various techniques of bone transport for skeletal defects, and osseointegration limb replacement surgery. It is a resource for orthopedic surgeons, researchers, and practitioners of limb lengthening and deformity correction.
