A severely shortened and deformed index finger - due to osteomyelitis of the middle phalanx - of a 12-year-old boy was lengthened by using a Kessler distraction device. Distraction for 2 weeks followed by interposition of a 15-mm bone graft resulted in a stable painless finger of normal length.Downloads
