Summary
The provider divides the humerus in two and inserts specially designed nails through the intramedullary canal of the two sections of humerus; the nail can be extended (distracted) using an external controller, which, over time, allows new bone to grow in the space between the two sections of the humerus and thus lengthens the humerus. Imaging, before and after alignment assessments and lengthening adjustments, and other device management are included with this procedure.
