Key result
The Orthofix Dynamic Axial Fixator achieved 100% healing without further surgical intervention in 48 children's diaphyseal fractures, with only one case of fixation compromise due to sepsis.

Does the Orthofix Dynamic Axial Fixator safely and effectively manage children's diaphyseal fractures of the femur and tibia?
The Orthofix Dynamic Axial Fixator is a safe and effective management option for children's diaphyseal fractures of the femur and tibia.
Hull et al. (1997) conducted an observational in Diaphyseal fractures of the femur and tibia (n=48). Orthofix Dynamic Axial Fixator was evaluated on Fracture healing without further surgical intervention. The Orthofix Dynamic Axial Fixator achieved 100% healing without further surgical intervention in 48 children's diaphyseal fractures, with only one case of fixation compromise due to sepsis.
