Abstract:
The effects of gradual tibia lengthening at different speeds on the histomorphology of tibial nerve were studied in 30 rabbits by self-made external distraction device. It was showed that the leg was tracted at the speed of 1 mm/d, the tibial nerve was lengthened correspondingly. Gradual stress could stimulate the growth of nervous tissue and no nervous functional and constructural injuries were found When the leg was distracted at the speed of 2 mm/d, limb elongation within 40% was safe, otherwise, severe nervous damage would occur.
