Complications
| Patient | Complication | Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Calf swelling (after rod removal) | Readmission for calf swelling; no DVT or infection found |
| 5 | (A) Hip subluxation/dislocation | Joint reduction and stabilization with external fixation |
| (B) Delayed femoral healing (anterior cortex) | RIA autogenous bone graft | |
| 6 | Knee rotatory subluxation | Soft tissue release with ligament reconstruction |
| 7 | Delayed femoral healing (medial cortex) | Removal 2 proximal screws and bone stem cell injection |
| 9 | Delayed femoral healing (lateral cortex) | Bone graft with bone stem cell injection |
| 12 | (A) Calf swelling | Readmission for calf swelling; no DVT of infection found |
| (B) Delayed tibial healing | Autologous bone graft (proximal tibia) | |
