Dissertation note: Thesis (Ph.D.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of Orthopedic Surgery Summary: Long bone deformities cause significant disability as well as psychological consequences to patients, both in childhood and adulthood. It has been shown that deformities around the knee result in arthritic development at the knee joint. Many surgical options exist for the correction of long bone deformities that either acutely or gradually correct the deformity and provide fixation until bone healing is established at the osteotomy site. However, the fixator-assisted nailing (FAN) and the fixator-assisted plating (FAP) techniques have become the gold standard for the correction of long bone deformities. These techniques combine the accuracy, minimal invasiveness, and safety of external fixation with the patient convenience of internal fixation. The intramedullary nail/ locked plate prevent the recurrence of the deformity, which is especially important in patients with metabolic bone diseases who are prone to recurrence of the deformity as the metabolic problem continues
