Distraction Osteogenesis Technique in the Treatment of Acquired and Congenital Shortening of Hand Bones Using Mini-Ilizarov Fixator
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Thin 1 mm or 1.5 mm Kirschners wires which as suitable for paediatric or adult hand bones have 3 sharpened end facets. The mini-Ilizarov fixator is composed of fixation units (Figure 1) for attaching the wires in to the slots (7) of slotted washers (3) and their fastening with a fixation nut (8) (Figure 2). (A) composed of slotted washers (3,7), space washer (4), bolt (5) with an axial hole and perpendicular threaded hole in its head, locking screw (6), fixation nut (8).

Objectives. The aim of the study was to investigate the results of patients with isolated length discrepancy between ulna and radius who underwent distraction osteogenesis with unilateral external fixator. Material and Methods. A patient with ulna shortening due to multiple enchondromatosis, a patient with ulna shortening due to ulnar club hand, and a patient with radial shortening due to radia...
متن کاملResults and biomechanical consideration of treatment of congenital lower limb shortening and deformity using the Ilizarov method.
One of the applications of the Ilizarov apparatus is the correction of congenital shortening and deformities. Ilizarov external fixator produces biomechanical structure with surrounding tissue, which is the reason why very important is correct stability of fixator. Large distraction in the case of high value of lengthening, and large deformity corection result in shear stresses that occur addit...

Infected tibial nonunions with bone loss pose an extremely challenging problem for the orthopaedic surgeon. A comprehensive approach that addresses the infection, bone quality, and overlying soft-tissue integrity must be considered for a successful outcome. Acute shortening with an Ilizarov frame has been shown to be helpful in the treatment of open tibia fractures with simultaneous bone and so...

The mechanical features of and biologic response to using distraction osteogenesis with the circular external fixator are the unique aspects of Ilizarov's contribution that allows deformity correction and reconstruction of bone defects. We present a retrospective study of 20 patients who suffered from a variety of benign tumours for which external fixators (EF) were used to treat deformity, bon...
