Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Radiographic union | Through study completion, an average of 0.5 year. | The time of radiographic union. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Ratliff classification standard score | Through study completion, an average of 1 year. | Ratliff classification standard score was administered to determine the pain, function, activity and radiographic change. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The complication | Through study completion, an average of 1 year. | The complication was evaluated by osteonecrosis, epiphyseal arrest, premature physeal closure, limb length discrepancy (over 3 cm) and internal fixation failure. |
