Management of Forearm Bone Gap Non-Unions by Ilizarov Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Different factors like fracture location and complexity, patient characteristics and surgical intervention are involved in the development of forearm bone non union [1,2]. Radius and ulna non-unions are usually associated with complex injury, inadequate initial reduction, unstable fixation. Anatomical and functional relationships between radius and ulna are so peculiar that it represents a sophisticated functional unit. That’s why fractures of the radius and ulna should be considered like articular fractures [3].

Ilizarov ring fixator in the management of infected non-unions of tibia
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of debridement and application of Ilizarov ring fixator (IRF) in the management of infected tibial non-unions. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty six patients with infected non-unions of tibia were managed by debridement and resection of infected portion ± partial fibulectomy and stabilization by Ilizarov ring fixator. Bone segment t...
متن کاملOutcomes of Ilizarov ring fixation in recalcitrant infected tibial non-unions – a prospective study
BACKGROUND Infected non-union of long bones is a problem in the developing countries. Persistent infection, deformity, shortening, bone loss, joint stiffness and disability complicate the non-union. Secondary procedures are often required for correction of bone defects and deformity. Ilizarov method addresses all the above problems simultaneously and offers a panacea for infected non-unions. Th...
متن کاملInfected Gap Non-Union of Lower Tibia, Fidelity by Ilizarov Technique
41 patients with a distal tibial infected non-union treated by Ilizarov technique from 2000 to 2015. Patients with aseptic non unions of distal tibia were excluded. Mean age of patient was 25.5 years (10-70). 35 were male and 6 were female. Mean size of distal fragment was 5 cm (2-9). Active infection, drainage or a large open wound was seen in 29 patients, 13 presented with implant removal. Al...
متن کاملModified Nicoll’s Graft for Treatment of Gap Non-union of Ulna: A Rare Case Report
INTRODUCTION Despite the multitude of studies for the treatment of non-unions, no clear criterion has been established for treating a fracture of non-union. Non-union of radius and ulna produces a discrepancy in length which must be restored for adequate rotation and function. Nicoll described a technique of bridging gaps in long bones with solid blocks of cancellous bone and fixing the fragmen...

Humeral non unions are often painful and unstable Good surgical management is sometimes very difficult. Fixation with plates and screws and bone grafting may fail. The outcome of revision operation may be adversely affected by restricted movement of elbow. In most cases, the patient has been several times operated with resultant scarring and cicatrisation of the surrounding soft tissues. This r...
