  • Look Inside

 We describe two patients who underwent callus distraction (callotasis) of the radius to correct a forearm length discrepancy that resulted from a traumatic epiphyseal injury. One was a 14-year-old girl who sustained a radial epiphyseal injury 4 years before, and the other was a 16-year-old boy who sustained a similar injury 6 years before. Both patients complained of wrist pain and limited wrist motion due to shortening of the radius and incongruity of the distal radio-ulnar joint. Callotasis was undertaken to lengthen the radius by 12 mm in the first case and by 15 mm in the second case. After adequate lengthening, the patients' wrist pain disappeared completely and the range of motion was markedly improved with good congruity of the distal radio-ulnar joint. Both patients were satisfied with the outcome. In conclusion, callotasis of the radius is useful procedure for treating discrepancy of the forearm due to traumatic epiphyseal injury.
