A team at Tygerberg Hospital has completed South Africa's first fully internal bone transport and limb-lengthening reconstruction.
According to Western Cape Government , the Fitbone Transport Nail rebuilt a 50 mm femoral defect and corrected a 30 mm leg-length difference in a 64-year-old former police officer who was shot in 2018.
Surgeons from Stellenbosch University 's Limb Reconstruction Unit led the operation.
