Introduction

There is a drive to reduce length of stay in children undergoing limb reconstruction but a reduction in community physiotherapy input and a consequent pressure to ensure children are as independent as possible prior to discharge. This study aims to look at time taken and potential factors effecting the achievement of pre-set mobility goals and length of stay in this population

Materials and Methods

Between June 2018 and November 2021 data was collated for patients who underwent limb reconstruction at Great Ormond Street hospital. 77 patients were reviewed. Data collected included type and location of lengthening device and length of stay. A modified version of the Goal Attainment Score (GAS) was used and included 3 goals which the child needed to achieve within 7 days post-operatively.

Shear plane non unions: biomechanical study and clinical application using an all wire Illizarov frame.

60 degree osteotomy of plastic tibiae were stabilised using four different Ilizarov frame configurations.

Models were loaded and shear displacement measured at the fracture site. The optimum frame design was identified and used in clinical practice.

The transfracture locked olive wire frame model offered the least displacement in the experimental model This frame model was used in two patients with shear plane non unions and both healed satisfactorily Both displacements had previously failed to unite with standard frame constructs.

Transfracture locked olive wire frame design is useful in the treatment of tibial non unions with shear plane.
