There were 24 case series and 11 case reports containing 355 acute shortening procedures. Acute shortening was reported in 12 articles for amputation, 15 for fracture nonunion, 2 for fresh or delayed fracture, 2 for tumor, 2 for brachial plexus injury and 2 for forearm deformity. The maximum shortening for replantation was 10\u00a0cm in the forearm and 12\u00a0cm in the humerus. Shortening up to 2.9\u00a0cm and 8\u00a0cm for fracture nonunion were reported for the forearm and humerus, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The main indications for acute shortening of the upper limb were amputation for replantation and fracture nonunion.
