Abstract

An 18 year old male patient undergoes simultaneous bifocal correction of a post-traumatic double-hit growth disturbance of the right femur and tibia using two Multi-Axial Correction (MAC) External Fixation Systems (Biomet, Warsaw, IN) with correction of both a limb length discrepancy (LLD) and an angular deformity.

Disclosure: Dr. Davidson is a consultant for Biomet and receives royalties on the MAC external fixator of which he is a co-inventor.
