a Radiographs of distal and proximal osteotomy after meticulous debridement. The converged bone transport was performed on first day postoperative, and the proximal bone segment was transported at the rate of 1 mm/d, while the distal segment was transported at the speed of 0.6 mm/d, which was manipulated once in the morning and once in the evening. Two weeks later, the transport speed slowed down to 0.5 mm/d to 0.6 mm/d. b The docking site union and consolidation of regenerates were achieved 32 months after the operation. c Frame was removed with good bone result on 33 months after osteotomy. d-e Photographs of standing position with excellent functional result
