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.
