Fixator-assisted tibial lengthening over a plate in a patient with sequelae of poliomyelitis
There are many techniques for limb lengthening. Lengthening over a plate is an alternative choice of fixation in children or when nailing is difficult. We present a new technique for tibial lengthening with using a monolateral external fixator over a lengthening plate.Lengthening over an intramedullary nail is a commonly used method in patients with short stature or limb-length discrepancy. How...
متن کاملtibial lengthening using a fixator-assisted lengthening plate: a new technique
conclusions the fixator-assisted lengthening plate technique helps to maintain the stability and alignment at both sides of an osteotomy during tibial elongation. it allows the early removal of the external fixator immediately after lengthening is completed. this technique can be applied in children with open physes and in patients with a narrow medullary canal who are unsuitable for limb lengt...

متن کاملFixator-assisted nailing and consecutive lengthening over an intramedullary nail for the correction of tibial deformity.
We report the results of using a combination of fixator-assisted nailing with lengthening over an intramedullary nail in patients with tibial deformity and shortening. Between 1997 and 2007, 13 tibiae in nine patients with a mean age of 25.4 years (17 to 34) were treated with a unilateral external fixator for acute correction of deformity, followed by lengthening over an intramedullary nail wit...
متن کاملMyotopography in Tibial Lengthening
Limb lengthening by Ilizarov lengthens not just the long bone, but also the soft tissues too. Damage of the musclesduring corticotomy and their stretching during distraction play a crucial role in occurrence of complications and finallimb function. We present here a systematic codified nomenclature system of each muscle summarising all theinfluence that corticotomy and distraction have the part...
