Abstract | Here we report the case of a 13-year-old girl with a history of massive left knee arthroplasty after excision of a proximal tibial osteosarcoma with subsequent leg length inequality. Owing to her short stature and her parents' refusal of surgical shortening by epiphysiodesis of the right lower limb, tibial lengthening over the prosthesis stem using an Ilizarov apparatus was undertaken and achieved 5 cm good quality regenerate but with a secondary infection leading to prosthesis removal. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no similar case has been previously reported in the literature. Although the goal of bone lengthening was achieved, this procedure should be avoided because of the high risk of secondary infection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
