Leg alignment has been successfully corrected, improving gait stability. Early signs of callus formation at the proximal fracture site are promising, with a CT scan scheduled to confirm progress.
The healing process continues as expected, with significant improvement in swelling and early callus formation. However, mild valgus alignment has been noted, and potential corrective action is being considered to optimise long-term function.
Distraction osteogenesis is complete, with both legs now equal in length. Encouraging signs of healing are visible on X-rays, including unexpected early callus formation at the fracture site. The focus now shifts to rehabilitation and ongoing monitoring.
Steady progress continues with further lengthening nearing the planned goal. Compression at the proximal fracture site is holding, with no signs of infection. Adjustments made to allow additional distraction.
