Additional information

This paper reports the design and magnetic characterization of a unique system for limb lengthening in children, now implanted into several hundred children worldwide, with consequent savings in healthcare, reduced/eliminated risk of infection and patient ease of use. This device is a pioneer in limb salvage surgery. The method of energizing the implant is elegant in that an existing electric stator construction is used, with modified coil wiring to achieve impedance matching to a commercially available ac drive. The author made a substantial contribution to the conception, design and to carrying out the study (including acquisition of study data).
