Key Points

Enhanced surgical outcomes are observed with 3D planning and patient-specific instrumentation in pediatric limb reconstruction.
Significant improvements are noted in alignment and function, leading to a 30% reduction in complications.
Assessment using innovative surgical techniques demonstrates greater precision and personalization in procedures for young patients.
Highlights the need for further multicenter studies to validate these findings in broader pediatric populations.
