Foleys protection caps: inexpensive alternative in Ilizarov fixation
نویسندگان
چکیده
TECHNIQUE Humeral nailing is performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus position with the image intensifier at 90o to the patient (Fig 1). During freehand distal locking, the patient’s arm rests on his or her body and the forearm is rested on the anterior pelvic support on sterile padding. By changing the amount of padding, arm rotation can be adjusted to give a perfect view of the distal locking hole without requiring an assistant. In this position, we then perform distal locking in a posterioranterior direction.

Combined use of Ilizarov external fixation and Papineau technique for septic pseudoarthrosis of the distal tibia in a patient with diabetes mellitus
The surgical treatment of open pilon fractures has a high complication rate especially in diabetic patients. In this article, we present a case of an infected tibial non-union after an open reduction and internal fixation in a diabetic patient, treated with Ilizarov external fixation combined with Papineau technique. Combined use of external fixation and Papineau technique can provide an altern...
متن کاملCase Report : Intra - articular calcaneal fracture reduced with minimal open reduction , external fixation with the use of balloon kyphoplasty technique
Calcaneal fractures may be difficult to reduce and there are many possible complications of the standard open reduction and internal fixation. This case study illustrates use of the Ilizarov method combined with a balloon kyphoplasty technique as an additional approach to reduce these complex fractures with a minimal incision. This innovative technique not only minimize risk of infection, but a...
متن کاملThe Ilizarov external fixator - a useful alternative for the treatment of proximal tibial fractures A prospective observational study of 30 consecutive patients
BACKGROUND In dislocated proximal tibial fractures, the most frequently used treatment is ORIF with screws and plates. Minimally-invasive techniques using external fixation are an alternative. The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical and radiological results using the Ilizarov technique in both uni- and bicondylar tibial fractures. METHODS Thirty consecutive patients with isolated fr...

PURPOSE Our research was aimed at studying the radiographic and histological outcomes of using flexible intramedullary nailing (FIN) combined with Ilizarov external fixation (IEF) versus Ilizarov external fixation alone on a canine model of an open tibial shaft fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS Transverse diaphyseal tibial fractures were modelled in twenty dogs. Fractures in the dogs of group 1...
