Abstract
We conducted this systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of methods used in lengthening in cases of proximal femoral focal deficiency and compare the outcome of lengthening using external fixators and lengthening using intramedullary motorized nail.
We conducted our study by searching Medline and PubMed for studies about lengthening in cases of PFFD and we find 4 papers about lengthening using different methods of lengthening done in 2014 to 2016 which met our inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Our specific outcome measures were Achieved lengthening, corrected limb length discrepancy, complications, Range of motion of surrounding joints.
Key words:
Proximal femoral focal deficiency, lengthening, External fixator, femur, intramedullary motorized nail
