Dynamic splinting with Dynasplint for prevention of muscular contractures and subluxations in the joints during lower limb lengthening in 10 children has been used. In all cases the splint successfully prevented subluxation in the knee and the foot deformity. Ability to move splinted joints allowed effective rehabilitation. The splint was well tolerated by all the patients during whole period of distraction.
