Ultrasound to measure magnetic growing rods
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if ultrasound can accurately measure the length of magnetically controlled growing rods used in leg bone lengthening. It may help doctors monitor treatment without extra X-rays.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are getting a leg bone lengthened with a special magnetic rod placed inside the bone
- You are between 8 and 21 years old
- Your lengthening is not done with any other device like an external fixator

This study looks back at records of children, age 12 or younger, who had surgery to lengthen a leg bone using the Precice nail or an external fixator. The goal is to understand how well these treatments work for kids with a leg length difference of at least 2 cm.
This trial asks parents of children who have already had limb lengthening with the Precice system to share their thoughts on how well the procedure worked. Your answers can help doctors understand the benefits of this treatment.
This study looks at how a difference in leg length affects balance and movement in children aged 10 to 15. It uses a special low-dose X-ray (EOS) to take pictures of the child's spine and legs while they stand still.
This study looks at how a child’s growth plate grows during and after a temporary growth plate procedure. It may help doctors better time and plan treatment for children whose leg alignment or leg length differs.
This study looks at pain, satisfaction, and quality of life in people who get a FITBONE lengthening nail to correct a leg length difference of more than 30mm. It will help doctors understand how well this treatment works from a patient's perspective.
This trial uses ultrasound to see how well bone is healing in people who have a procedure called Ilizarov bone transport, bone lengthening, or corrective osteotomy. It may help avoid extra X-rays and give doctors a clearer picture of your recovery.
