This distraction device comprises a rod (1), a second rod (2) and means to control the translation of one rod relative to the other (3), so as to cause the desired distraction or compression. Each rod (1) and (2) has a first end, respectively (11) and (21), which receive means to link to a part of the organism such as hooks or screws for vertebra, ribs or the pelvis, and a second end, respectively (12) and (22), linked to the means to control the translation of one rod relative to the other (3) such that the direction of the first end (11) toward the second end (12) of the first rod (1) is roughly the same as the direction of the first end (21) toward the second end (22) of the second rod (2). The distraction device thus roughly forms a J, the bulging and rigid part of which is located outside the area concerned by the surgical treatment, facilitating its implantation. It is useful for straightening of the spine and bone lengthening, deformity correction or transport, depending on the means used to link to the organism.

The development of an internal bone lengthening stabilization system with extramedullary localization to generate a dynamic axial stabilization system by the incorporation of tension-locked Kirschner wires and tension-locked cerclage wires is described.

It features as a benefit the performance of bone lengthening, transports or reconstruction without any external fixation element, using the benefits of the pressure Kirschner wires in different planes without going through soft parts such as skin, cells, fascia, muscle, thereby reducing the risk of neurological and vascular injury to these elements.

The present development is based on my previous patent “Canulated locking and fixation assembly for trauma surgery”, which allows the attachment of Kirschner wires, cerclage wires, ender or TENS with tension to internal extramedullary fixation elements such as locked plates or bone fixation rings.

The present development has a central sliding zone of motorized lengthening, being able to use the different motorized systems currently developed for intramedullary nails.

We think its main application will be for femur and tibia, but it can involve any bone if its development is considered useful.

A new bone lengthening method using a force generated by own energy of a patient to activate a system based on an intramedullary telescopic nail 1, inserted into a broken bone. An outer driving module 30 connected by a cord 29, spanning either knee or elbow or femur-hip joint, where one end of the cord 29 connected to an inner driving module of the telescopic nail inserted into a broken bone and another end of said cord connected to the outer driving module attached to the second bone. The said system converts a tensile force into an axial displacement of a distal bone segment of the broken bone.

It is important to attach the outer driver 30 to an appropriate spot of skeleton in consideration that the cord starts pulling anchor 31 by active or passive leg movements only after passing 80% of natural range of motion.
