Management of Segmental Fracture Tibia by Ilizarov Technique

Ilizarov Treatment of Congenital Pseudarthrosis of the Tibia: A Multi-Targeted Approach Using the Ilizarov Technique

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is one of the most challenging problems in pediatric orthopaedics. The treatment goals are osteosynthesis, stabilization of the ankle mortise by fibular stabilization, and lower limb-length equalization. Each of these goals is difficult to accomplish but regardless of the surgical options, the basic biological considerations are the same: pseudarthro...

Management of Forearm Bone Gap Non-Unions by Ilizarov Technique

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 soph...

Treatment of infected juxtaarticular nonunion of proximal tibia with complex deformity by ilizarov technique

Infected 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...

Correction of Bowing Deformities in Paediatric Femur and Tibia by Ilizarov Technique

Introduction: Correction of multiplanar bone deformities in children is indicated for prevention of secondary orthopaedic complications. Different problems related to surgical intervention were reported: non-union, delayed union, recurrent deformity, refractures, nerve palsy and pin tract infection. The aim of this study was to show the results of children femur and tibia bowing deformities by ...
