Many surgeons from all over the world apply this method to limb lengthening and deformity correction, and the CORA principles and concepts have clearly shaped both design and functionality of the last generation of external devices.

In both cases, a surgeon will always have to consider the patient’s bone quality through three dimensional parameters: length, alignment and torsion, and accurately the entire 3D correction process. If using an intramedullary nail, an effective planning method is the Reverse Planning Method (RPM) developed by Prof. Rainer Baumgart in 2009.(1)

All basic considerations of deformity correction by using an external device should include the fundamental concepts of Anatomical and Mechanical Axis. These concepts allow a better understanding of the effects of adjustments or modifications in one plane when managing a three-dimensional problem such as bone deformity.
