Summary

This study looked at the safety and performance of the Fitbone Transport and Lengthening Nail, a device implanted in the bone to help repair large bone gaps or correct leg length differences. Only one person took part before the study was stopped early, so the results are very limited. The goal was to see how well the device works in real-world use and to support regulatory approvals outside the U.S.
