To investigate the effectiveness of treatment calcaneal osteomyelitis with bone transport by Ilizarov technique. Between January 2020 to August 2022, transfer using technique was performed in 6 patients osteomyelitis. The were 4 males and 2 females; aged from 9 35 years (mean,21.2±10.1 years). Cause injury included cases high-fall injury, traffic accident, 1 case crushing, other injuries. Durin...

The history of a 17-year-old female patient with pseudoachondroplasia, with an extreme bilateral genu recurvatum due to tibial growth disturbance, is presented. She was treated by the Ilizarov method over a nine- month period for consecutive bilateral correction of the lower legs, leading to an excellent functional result. The authors advocate the Ilizarov method as the treatment of choice for ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Failed treatment of fractures may be corrected by the Ilizarov technique but complications are common. In 52 patients with compromised healing of femoral and tibial fractures, the results of secondary reconstruction with Ilizarov treatment were investigated retrospectively in order to identify the factors that contribute to the risk of complications. METHODS 52 consecut...

INTRODUCTION External fixator application can be difficult for olecranon fractures in presence of large degloving injuries. We describe use of simple Ilizarov ring fixator construct for grade IIIB open olecranon fracture management. CASE REPORT A 45-year-old female with Grade III B open comminuted olecranon fracture (30*15cm degloving area) and ulnar nerve palsy was treated with a novel ring ...

OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to answer the following questions: (i) Do patients with tibial pilon fractures treated with an ankle hinge Ilizarov external fixator have a better ankle function versus ankle fixed? (ii) Is the incidence of posttraumatic arthrosis lower in patients treated with an ankle hinge Ilizarov external fixator? PATIENTS AND METHODS Between April 2002 and January 2008...

PURPOSE To review outcomes of 24 patients who underwent Ilizarov ring fixation for infected nonunion of the tibia. METHODS Medical records of 21 men and 3 women aged 13 to 74 (mean, 38) years who underwent Ilizarov ring fixation for infected non-union of the tibia were reviewed. The mean bone defect was 3.3 (range, 2-5) cm. The mean time from injury to presentation was 11.9 (range, 1-36) mont...

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 ...
