    The study involved 21 pediatric patients who underwent surgery for complex lower-limb deformities using intramedullary nails.

  • 2

    Three-dimensional virtual surgical planning and patient-specific cutting guides were utilized for preoperative planning and surgical correction.

  • 3

    An excellent correction was achieved in 83% of extremities, with no cases demonstrating residual deformity greater than 10°.

  • 4

    The mean time to radiographic union was 8.5 weeks, with a range of 4.5 to 18 weeks, excluding cases treated with lengthening nails.

  • 5

    No major complications occurred, although 8.7% of extremities experienced delayed union that resolved without intervention.
