@entity1 @entity174 @entity3986 @entity1230 @entity3330
Fifteen @entity3330 in 14 @entity1 were treated with external fixation using the EBI Orthofix unilateral external fixator. The average @entity1 age was 8.5 years (range, 3-13 years). There were 7 @entity1 with @entity1230 and 7 with @entity174 . The average duration in the fixator was 63 days; average followup was 34 months. All 15 @entity174 healed without additional operative intervention. Average angulation at the @entity174 site was 4.4 degrees in the anteroposterior plane (range, 0 degrees-10 degrees) and 4.6 degrees in the lateral plane (range, 0 degrees-11 degrees). There were 5 pin tract infections, all of which resolved with systemic antibiotics. There was 1 case of refracture in a @entity1 with @entity3986 . Ten @entity1 had clinically equal leg lengths, 3 @entity1 had < 1 cm of inequality, and 1 @entity1 had a 1.5 cm discrepancy. External fixation is a well-proven technique for managing @entity3330 in the @entity1 with @entity1230 . It is also an effective means of treating @entity3330 in the pediatric population.
