Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the use of the ALFA external fixator to treat gap non-union of the distal femur in eight patients, focusing on outcomes related to limb length and function.
  • - Patients were categorized based on the size of their intra-operative bone gap, with different management strategies applied, resulting in a mean limb length discrepancy improvement post-treatment.
  • - The mean distraction duration was approximately 113 days, with low complication rates and significant improvements in limb length, indicating that the ALFA fixator is a promising alternative to traditional methods like the Ilizarov fixator.
