RESUMEN
We present a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with multiple bilateral symmetrical cervical nerve root calcifications. To our knowledge, such a finding has not been described in the literature in association with this disease. We propose that multiple bilateral symmetrical spinal nerve root calcifications may be an additional imaging feature, possibly diagnostic, in this hereditary motor and spinal neuropathy.

Twenty-four patients underwent extremity lengthening with the Orthofix for congenital, posttraumatic, or postinfective defects. All were followed to completion of treatment. Length gain and time of treatment were quite acceptable with the Orthofix, but the complication rate was high. This incidence was significantly greater than previously reported by the developers of the technique but equivalent to that reported with other methods.
