Comparative outcomes of Adam Frame and Ilizarov external fixator in pediatric lower limb deformity correction
Both AF and IEF are effective for pediatric deformity correction and lengthening. The IEF technique achieved greater sagittal correction and slightly faster lengthening. However, AF facilitates multiple adjustments, which can improve outcomes in complex tibial or sagittal-dominant deformities.
