Femoral and tibial growth was studied in 6 children undergoing a femoral lengthening and 28 children a tibial lengthening. Growth of both femurs and tibiae was evaluated for 3 years both before and after the procedure. No significant growth disturbance was noted in femoral lengthenings of 14%. However, growth variations were constant after tibial lengthening of 18% on the average and could be correlated to the amount of lengthening. The consequences of these changes are limited in terms of final limb length because overgrowth of the femur often compensates for growth retardation of the tibia when tibial lengthening is less than 18%. Experimental and clinical studies assert that lengthenings of more than 30% can result in significant and definite growth retardation of the lengthened bone.

The dynamic relationship of dental and craniofacial development to the use of dental implants in a growing patient must be understood before this treatment is initiated. This article describes the three dimensions of maxillary, mandibular, and skeletal growth and their relationship to the placement of dental implants. Recommendations are made for the use of dental implants in the growing individual predicated on the above parameters of growth and development.
