A biomechanical analysis of the Ilizarov external fixator.
Five configurations of the Ilizarov fixator were analyzed in vitro. The overall stiffness, shear stiffness, and axial motion of the fracture site were determined. The data were compared with the results of eight conventional one-half frame fixators previously tested in the same manner. The Ilizarov fixator allowed significantly more axial motion at the fracture site during axial compression tha...
متن کاملA Biomechanical Comparison between Taylor’s Spatial Frame and Ilizarov External Fixator
ABSTRACT Taylor's spatial frame (TSF) and Ilizarov external fixators (IEF) are two circular external fixator commonly used to address complex deformity and fractures. There is currently no data available comparing the biomechanical properties of these two external fixators. This study looks into the mechanical characteristics of each system. TSF rings with 6 oblique struts, 4 tube connectors, 4...
متن کاملManagement of calcaneal fractures using the Ilizarov external fixator.
Twenty five intra-articular fractures of the calcaneus in 25 patients were reduced through a minimal incision and fixed with an Ilizarov external fixator. The average age of patients was 38.6 years (range: 17 to 62 years). According to the Sanders CT classification, 10 (40%) were type II, 9 (36%) type III, and 6 (24%) type IV. The average follow-up was 30 months (range: 24-40 months). According...
متن کاملIlizarov external fixator for correction of complex foot deformities.
OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of the Ilizarov external fixator for the correction of complex foot deformities. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2000 and September 2005, 29 feet of 25 patients (18 males, 7 females; mean age 13.7 years; range 5 to 24 years) who were applied Ilizarov external fixators due to complex foot deformities in our clinic were prospectively anal...
متن کاملTreatment of Popliteal Pterygium Using an Ilizarov External Fixator
Popliteal pterygium syndrome is a rare congenital disorder that consists of popliteal webs and craniofacial, genitourinary and extremity anomalies. Only moderate successful surgical excision of the fibrotic band within the popliteal web has been reported because the nerves and vessels in the affected site are short and displaced into the web and they are attached to adjacent tissues. We perform...
