A simple and safe technique for tibial lengthening.

Abstract
This is a report of long-term results and complications in 62 patients. Closed tibial osteotomy, direct tibial distraction, and simultaneous indirect proximal fibular epiphyseal distraction are the essential features of this new technique. Fibular osteotomy and complications from tibiofibular synostosis are eliminated. Bone graft and plating procedures have been proven to be unnecessary. The patient is ambulated immediately. Hospitalization has been reduced to a few days.
