(a) Very short tibia. LRS ADVanced (53000 series) in place; proximal and distal osteotomies.
(b) Simultaneous lengthening at each osteotomy site. Use of Micrometric Swivelling Clamp, which can be used at either end of the adult rail, to correct any varus or valgus occurring during lengthening.
Caution: Resect at least 1 cm of fibula; distal syndesmosis screw.

The successful outcome of a deformity correction with external fixation surgery relies also on a meticulous post-operative management approach. It is critical to optimal healing and the restoration of functionality. Wound care, pain control, rehabilitation exercises, monitoring of complications, and regular follow-ups are integral to a faster recovery.[1]

Weigh bearing is considered a significant clinical issue particularly when an external fixator has been applied to a lower limb. If mechanical stability is in fact a mandatory condition for promoting fracture healing, other key components for a full recovery of the bone are early weight bearing and dynamization.
