Abstract

Loss of knee movement is a common problem in femoral lengthening. Two groups of 10 children were compared: one group lengthened by the Ilizarov technique using a standard method and one group in whom the technique was modified to incorporate a different method for determining the pin placement. Loss of knee flexion was compared between the two groups. A significant difference in the total loss of flexion (
