Proper bony reduction and anatomic alignment without rotational deformity are sometimes
difficult to achieve during phalangeal bone lengthening procedures. We report our
experience with Ikuta's phalangeal compression-distraction-fixation device, which
can be used to achieve proper bony reduction and good alignment and without any rotational
deformity.
