Half-pin Breakage in Multiplanar External Fixators Used for Pediatric Deformity Correction

Abstract: Background: Pediatric patients with leg length discrepancies and complex deformities may require multiplanar external fixators for correction. We have encountered 4 cases of half-pin breakage with the Orthex hexapod frame. The purpose of this study is to report factors associated with half-pin breakage and compare various deformity correction characteristics between 2 hexapod frames – Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) and Orthex. Methods: Pediatric patients with lower extremity deformities treated with an Orthex or… Show more
