Osseodistraction after traumatic amputation of the little finger in a young musician. 
We lengthened the stump of a traumatically amputated little finger by osseodistraction in a young musician, who required a widened span to enable him to reach the octave on the piano.  A mini external distraction device was used.  No major complications occurred.  The bone lengthening gave a good functional and cosmetic result.
