ABSTRACT:
A device for transporting a segment of bone intentionally separated at an interim point from the proximal end of a bone toward a void in the bone in the direction of the distal end in a human or animal by incrementally extending the distance between the segment and the proximal end to permit continued bone growth between the intentionally separated portions comprising an intramedullary nail having distal and proximal portions both of which are securable within the medullar canal of the bone. The nail comprising a hydraulic cylinder is connectable to the proximal portion of the bone and a piston is connectable to the intentionally separated segment.
