What Is The Best Clavicle Osteotomy Method For Shoulder Lengthening?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I am inquiring about to possibilities surrounding your clavicle lengthening Q: Dr. Eppley, I am inquiring about to possibilities surrounding your clavicle lengthening procedure. I understand that you have two techniques for lengthening the bone, one being an oblique cut into the bone and the other a sagittal split pattern. I was hoping if you could tell me which one is able to extend the bone the longest.
A: The sagittal split osteotomy pattern allows the clavicle to be lengthened the most…but still should not be more than 2.5cms per side to ensure that adequate bone healing takes place.
