## Abstract Distraction osteogenesis is useful for correcting limb length inequality, deformities, or short stature. Despite success with bone formation, soft tissue maladaptations including muscle and joint contracture may lead to undesirable results. Botulinum toxin A has been useful in treating
## Abstract The viability and osteogenic potential of bone cylinders for bone transport was investigated in one tibia of 18 mature male New Zealand rabbits. The length of the bone cylinder was equal to or twice that of the diameter of the tibia. The cylinder was cut subperiosteally with an external
## Abstract Distraction osteogenesis is a highly successful method of bone formation, yet muscle fibrosis and contractures can result in significant morbidity. In the current study, we investigate the efficacy of botulinum toxin A in preventing fibrosis and potentially increasing muscle development
