Magnetic Lengthening with Dr. Rozbruch: The PRECICE Nail by Ellipse Technologies

http://www.limblengthening.com http://www.limblengthening.edu http:/www.ellipse-tech.com Ellipse Technologies, Inc. is an innovative company dedicated to the design, development and successful commercialization of non-invasively adjustable - REMOTE CONTROLLED - implants for a broad spectrum of spinal and orthopedic applications. As part of its product portfolio, the company has developed remote controlled distraction systems using magnets which may eliminate the need for additional surgeries. The initial revolutionary products restore proper anatomic position and alignment of the spine, and correct limb length discrepancies of the femur and tibia. The PRECICE system is an adjustable intramedullary rod used for limb lengthening of the femur and tibia, often the result of chronic fractures, congenital abnormalities, malunions, or nonunions. The PRECICE rod can be lengthened or shortened non-invasively by the physician or patient at home using the PRECICE ERC (External Remote Controller). The spinal system called MAGEC is not available in the United States.
