Outcome of correction of complex femoral rotational deformities using Taylor Spatial Frame in skeletally immature patients: a retrospective case series

Abstract: Background:Although the incidence of rotational lower-limb deformity caused by malunited femoral fractures is low, it can alter the force transition across lower limb joints. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) in the treatment of severe rotational lower-limb deformities that were caused by neglected malunited femoral fractures in pediatric and adolescent patients. Methods:Fifteen skeletally immature patients, six boys and nine girls with mean age of… Show more

“…The Ilizarov frame has a number of drawbacks, including a steep learning curve, frequent frame changes, and the requirement for new hinges for repairing multiplanar abnormalities. In addition, even for the most skilled surgeons, correcting rotational abnormalities using the Ilizarov frame remains a challenge [15] . The rapid acquisition of hexapod mastery stands in stark contrast to the time-consuming nature of other skill development processes.…”
