Management of Calcaneal Fracture Using the Ilizarov Technique

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2005
Treating calcaneal fractures nonoperatively versus operatively is controversial. The aim of open reduction is to reduce the articular surface and to restore the calcaneal bone anatomy to recover its function. The disadvantages of open reduction include wound complications, risk of screw penetration of the articular surface and peroneal tendons, and ...

Management of Congenital Fibular Deficiency by Ilizarov Technique

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1992
Between April 1987 and January 1990, 11 patients with congenital fibular deficiency underwent tibial lengthening of 12 involved limbs by the Ilizarov technique. The average follow-up was 23.2 months. The mean lengthening was 8.3 cm, representing an average lengthening of 31%.

TREATMENT OF LARGE BONE DEFECTS WITH THE ILIZAROV TECHNIQUE

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1993
Between 1985 and 1990 we treated 11 large segmental bone defects (average 6.7 cm) in ten patients with the Ilizarov technique. Open fractures, type III according to Gustilo, represented the largest group (8 of 11 cases). The average delay before the Ilizarov technique was initiated was 8.9 months. The external fixator was usually maintained for 1 year.

Results of Femoral Lengthening Using the Ilizarov Technique

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1995
We report the results of 36 femoral lengthenings in 30 consecutive patients using the Ilizarov technique. Patient age at surgery in 19 boys and 11 girls averaged 13.4 years (range, 5-18). Minimum follow-up was 2 years. The etiology of femoral shortening was congenital in 21 femora and acquired in 15.

The Ilizarov Technique in Correction of Complex Foot Deformities

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1992
The Ilizarov technique allows new histogenesis of soft tissue as well as bone. This process, extended to the foot, has allowed correction of complex three-dimensional deformities. The method is described and demonstrated to illustrate the action and limitations as well as the complications of the method.

Ilizarov Technique in the Treatment of Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1997
This study analyzes the risks and benefits of Ilizarov's technique in congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT). This was a retrospective review of 14 patients treated between 1985 and 1993 for CPT, by using Ilizarov's technique. In 12 cases, this technique was used after failure of previous surgical treatment.

Techniques for the Management of Burn Contractures With the Ilizarov Fixator

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1992
The Ilizarov fixator was used to correct chronic burn deformities of the foot and ankle. These contractures can be classified as "simple" or "complex" based on associated deformities and musculoskeletal function. The simple, undirectional deformities of equinus, cavus, rockerbottom, and toe dislocations are fairly easy to correct and maintain ...

The Rancho Mounting Technique for the Ilizarov Method

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1992
To improve implant tolerance and muscle function associated with circular external fixation, the authors substituted divergent titanium pins for the tensioned steel wires used to mount the Ilizarov apparatus on a limb. The first ten patients treated with half-pins were compared to the last ten patients managed with tensioned wires. While the conditions

Amputation Stump Lengthening With the Ilizarov Technique

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1990
It is often difficult to create a functional stump from a traumatic amputation, especially in a child. A case is described of a traumatic, high, below-knee amputation in a five-year-old child. The resulting stump was too short to allow a conventional below-knee prosthesis, decreasing gait efficiency.

Distraction osteogenesis with the Ilizarov technique

Techniques in Orthopaedics, 1992
Distraction osteogenesis is the technique of growing bone by gradually lengthening fracture callus. This technique has been used to correct shortness, segmental defects, and malunions of the arms and legs. The biology of distraction osteogenesis is unique. The technique allows correction of severe deformities with little or no autogenous bone grafting.
