ABSTRACT:
A traction cable device is disclosed for bone lengthening and for bone segment transport. The apparatus features a flexible cable contained within a flexible sheath. Bone transport continues after osteotomy and until the bone segment contacts the proximal femur. The in vivo force exerted by the cable can be measured as well as translation of the cable relative to its sheath.
