Surgical treatment of neglected clubfoot using external fixator☆
The definition of neglected clubfoot (NC) includes a variable range of complex deformities of the foot that are refractory to conventional treatments or are treated inappropriately. Several etiologies may be related to this. The Ilizarov method has become established as a tool for treating these deformities. It minimizes soft-tissue damage through gradual correction of the deformity, with a hig...
متن کاملKnee stability after articulated external fixation.
BACKGROUND Articulated external fixation has been proposed as a method to protect ligament reconstructions while allowing aggressive and early postoperative rehabilitation after knee dislocation. However, the ability of these fixators to protect and stabilize the knee joint has not been clearly determined. HYPOTHESIS Articulated external fixation can reduce anteroposterior translation in the ...
متن کاملSurgical management of knee dislocations with ligament reconstruction associated with a hinged external fixator.
INTRODUCTION Knee dislocations are defined as ligament injuries involving at least two of the four most important knee ligaments. Results from recent studies have shown a tendency towards improvement of the functional outcomes with use of an articulated external fixator during the postoperative period following multiligament reconstruction. Our hypothesis was that good knee stability and early ...
متن کاملTreatment of acute and chronic elbow instability with a hinged external fixator after fracture dislocation.
This is a retrospective analysis of the clinical and radiological outcome in 24 patients with acute or chronic posttraumatic elbow instability, who were treated with open reduction, internal fixation and a hinged external fixator. The instability was acute after elbow fracture dislocation in 11 cases; the other 13 had chronic posttraumatic instability of the elbow. Concentric stability and a su...
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...
