Leg-Straightening Procedure

Dr. Richard Davis will use the Ilizarov technique to straighten the leg of 12-year-old Richard Nichols. Richard fractured his leg at age four and the bone didn’t heal properly. The malformation causes pain and worsens with each year of growth. Dr. Davis is Assistant Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of South Carolina. The procedure involves threading wires through the bone and tying them to rings around the leg. These rings connect to adjustable rods, which are able to support his weight when he stands. Lengthening is accomplished by separating the bones up to 1 mm per day. Over months, the bone can be lengthened as much as 8 inches. A Discovery Channel Production. (45 minutes)
