Abstract:Numerous graft materials have been utilized and described to achieve deformity correction in lateral column lengthening procedures (LCL) including autograft, allograft, xenograft, and porous titanium wedges (PTW). PTWs offer a potentially advantageous substitute for traditional grafts. Evidence regarding outcomes and complications of these grafts remains limited. This systematic review aims to describe functional outcomes and complications associated with LCL using PTWs. A standard methodology for performing a… Show more
