Topics Covered:
? Principles of distraction osteogenesis
? Biomechanics of limb lengthening
? LON vs LATN vs PRECICE nail systems
? Step-by-step surgical technique
? Retrograde vs antegrade femoral nailing
? Osteotomy planning & regenerate biology
? Rotational control during distraction
? External Fixation Index (EFI) explained
? Poor regenerate & premature consolidation
? Complications and management
? Rehabilitation & physiotherapy principles
? Ethical & psychological considerations in cosmetic lengthening
? High-yield OSCE & Viva questions for orthopedic residents

This lecture is essential for:
????? Orthopedic residents
????? Medical students
????? Limb reconstruction & deformity correction surgeons
