Orthopedic complications after osteotomy in patients with classic bladder exstrophy and cloacal exstrophy: a comparative study

While exstrophy closure success and overall complications rates are similar in patients with CBE and CE, patients with CE experience more superficial pin-site infections after pelvic osteotomy. External hip fixation may be associated with the increase in orthopedic complications, though further research is required to elucidate the underlying cause of these complications.
