Summary
This study looks back at medical records of up to 200 children aged 12 and younger who had surgery to lengthen a leg bone (thigh or shin) that was too short. The goal is to see how well the surgery works and how safe it is, using a special metal rod or an external device. Researchers will check X-rays for bone healing and track any problems that happened after surgery.
