Ilizarov external fixator for stump salvage in infected nonunions.
Infected nonunions are potentially difficult complications to treat in the context of complex tibial fractures. Often, such complications necessitate amputation to prevent further sequelae, such as fulminant sepsis and complete loss of the limb. As such, the eradication of infection, the decision regarding when to amputate, and the length of the residual stump are important factors to optimize ...
متن کاملIlizarov external fixator for length salvage in infected amputated nonunions.
The technique of compression distraction induced osteogenesis via the Ilizarov external fixator system has been used for a variety of traumatic limb pathologies that necessitate boney union and limb preservation. In this case report, we describe an uncommon scenario were an Ilizarov external fixator was used to treat an infected nonunion following a below knee amputation.

متن کاملManagement of birth-associated subtrochanteric femur fractures.
In daily clinical practice most orthopedic surgeons suffer from doubt about treatment of rare injuries. The aim of this study is to enlighten the management of birth related femoral subtrochanteric fractures of neonates.
