Tregubov (Orth. and Traum., 1927, No. 2-3)KiptenkoN.info@eco-vector.com150419282444804801412202114122021Copyright © 1928, Eco-Vector1928<p>Lengthening of limbs observed in various diseases and injuries also occurs in the case of the bones and joints. In this case, elongation occurs when the diaphyseal part lying near the epiphyseal cartilage is diseased; when the epiphyseal cartilage itself or the epiphyseal line is diseased, elongation does not occur. Elongation is observed only in the period of bone growth and reaches 0.5-2 centimeters, usually during the first 1-3 years of the disease.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
