Article Synopsis
- The study compares two methods of limb lengthening: one using an intramedullary nail and the other using the traditional Ilizarov method, focusing on effectiveness and complication rates.
- A total of 31 limbs from 28 patients were studied, with 15 using the nail method and 16 using Ilizarov; the nail group had a significantly shorter external fixation duration (52.2 days vs. 180.4 days).
- While the intramedullary nail method resulted in fewer complications overall, it was associated with a higher risk of serious deep intramedullary infections.
For evaluating pelvic support osteotomy as a salvage procedure in managing neglected hip problems in adolescents and young adults, PSO was performed for 20 hips in 20 patients (5 men and 15 women). The mean age was 21.5 years.
