(a and b) Anteroposterior radiograph of the left femur and lateral radiograph of the left tibia and fibula showed limb lengthening surgery of the femur and tibia was performed when she was 12 years old, using Taylor-Spatial-Frame with percutaneous distal corticotomy of the femur and for the proximal tibia including the foot into the external fixator

Taylor-Spatial-Frame with percutaneous distal corticotomy of the femur and for the proximal tibia including the foot into the external fixator [Figure 6a and b]. The foot frame was removed 3 months later.
Standing anteroposterior radiograph of the lower limbs showed a Rush rod was inserted in the femur, which was 4 mm in thickness. For the tibia we used elastic stable intramedullary nail, 2 mm in thickness, also note the diminution of the leg length discrepancy from 15 to 5 cm and the girl became able to walk with the aid of a below knee orthosis and through lifting the left limb with 5-cm height shoe
