  2. What is ISKD? • Intramedullary Skeletal Kinetic Distractor • A rod inserted into the bone to gradually lengthen the bone. • It is designed to lengthen a predetermined distance. • Can lengthen as far as 8 cm.

  3. Lengthening Process • The lengthening is triggered by movement of the limb. • Rotation of 3-9 degrees and minor weight bearing causes expansion. • The distal end of the rod telescopes outward. • A internal threaded rod spins causing the extension.

  4. Benefits • Completely internal and non-visible. • No risk on infection • Minimal scaring • No social stress • Much less painful then tradition lengthening methods. • Hand-held monitor allows patient to follow lengthening process daily.

  5. Progress Monitoring • A hand-held console is given to the patient. • A magnetic sensor allows the patient track there progress. • Can be attached to a printer to print the data or sent to a PC with the ISKD program.
