“…Internal mechanical telescoping nails have been used to accomplish DO, although presented with numerous complications (76%), including uncontrolled rapid lengthening (21.4%), absence of lengthening (39.3%), and lack of bone regenerate consolidations (32.1%). 34 Other telescoping IMNs present with a similar complication profile, although it must be noted that the apparent complication incidence may be significantly lower compared with mechanical nail counterparts. 35,36 Originally available in 2019, the BTN allows for BT using a single implant all-internal magnet-driven IMN.…”

“…The excessive "runaway" distraction of this device resulted in poor bone regenerate and non-union. Based on this fact, Lecoanet et al have recommended that this system should no longer be used due to the improved control of lengthening rate and fewer complications encountered with the motorized driven nails [25] . It should be noted that the implant was withdrawn from the US market in 2012.…”
