While factors such as nail diameter, alignment, and other mechanical characteristics have been associated with an increased risk of nail breakage, the relationship between the percentage of maximum lengthening utilized and nail breakage remains unexplored. We specifically assessed overall complications, with and without the inclusion of contractures, based on the amount of distraction (25% to 60%, 61% to 90%, and 91% to 100% of maximum).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We retrospectively reviewed the records for 176 pediatric patients and 109 adult patients who had undergone limb lengthening and had ≥24 months of follow-up.
