Abstract
Our patient who was diagnosed with lower limb dysmetria underwent tibial lengthening by gradual distraction from distracting external fixator. The monitoring performed evaluated joint range by means of manual goniometry, muscle tone scale by the Daniels scale, existence of lymphedema and limb length by measuring tape and perceived pain by the Visual Analog Scale. Standing out among the results are the full gain of joint range and prevention of equinus and secondary lymphedema.
