A long bone distraction plate, magnetic is an implantable device designed to be fixed to a long bone such as the femur, tibia, or humerus. It uses overlapping plate segments with integrated magnets that can be adjusted noninvasively via an external magnetic control device to gradually lengthen or stabilize the bone, supporting fracture healing, managing pathological conditions, or enabling limb lengthening.
Devices in this category are implantable and typically require surgical placement. They are regulated as active implantable medical devices due to their magnetic actuation mechanism and are intended for use under clinical supervision, with adjustments performed externally without additional surgery.
