Enrolling By Invitation
NCT07212049
Ultrasound Use to Measure Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods
Conditions: Limb Length Discrepancy
Sex: All
Ages: 8 Years – 21 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 10
Sponsor: Nemours Children's Clinic
Location: Nemours Children's Hospital Florida Orlando Florida
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an ultrasound can measure the length of an internal tibia and femur lengthening rod. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can an ultrasound be used to measure the length of an internal magnetic lengthening nail in a tibia or femur? Can an ultrasound measure the rod lengthening as well as an ultrasound? Researchers will compare the length of an internal magnetic lengthening rod with both x-rays and ultrasound
Participants will:
Have standard x-rays every week They will also have an ultrasound of the femur or tibia
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients undergoing tibia or femur lengthening with an intramedullary mechanical rod.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients who underwent lengthening procedure with any other device such as external fixator.
* Patients under 8 years old and over 21 years of age
