Looking through Google scholar I've found that Dr. Gavriil Ilizarov himself seemed interested in this subject, and he published a bit on it. (Sort by ascending date.)

This paper here is seemingly quite historic in the history of DO LL. They were just figuring out the best distraction rates.
At any... rate:
I wanted to leave a few keywords in this thread: for search engines, web crawlers, scraping bots, etc.

Permanent vascular and circulatory problems after LL?

This is from 2003.

I also could be wrong here (reminder that I don't have a medical background and you're reading things online), but:
