Monolateral EF is a reliable and easy-to-implement technique that is well tolerated by patients. This helps to maintain full extension of the knee joint range of motion (ROM) and thus decreases the occurrence of muscle contractures as well as knee stiffness, subluxation, and dislocation.Thus, we aimed to evaluate the to measure and correct femoral shortening in pediatrics due to various etiologies by limb reconstruction system (LRS).The current prospective study included 20 patients who underwent femoral lengthening utilizing LRS monolateral external fixation (Orthofix International NV, Lewisville, TX)
