Lengthening of the Humerus Using a Motorized Lengthening Nail: A Retrospective Comparative Series

Conclusions: Humeral lengthening using motorized intramedullary nails is a safe technique that mitigates some of the complications of EF including pin site infection. It is well tolerated by patients. For lengthenings of a large magnitude, reversal and reuse of MN can be considered.
