چکیده
METHODS Psychometric tests explored body image, depression, and coping responses. Semistructured interviews were administered preoperatively, 6 months postoperatively, and 1 month after frame removal. Interview questions, derived from a pre-study focus group, related to participants’ perceptions of their daily experiences of living with the Ilizarov frame. Interviews were tape recorded, transcribed, and analysed using a thematic categorical approach. Themes were reviewed with participants for accuracy.

Mechanical rigidity of the Ortho-SUV frame compared to the Ilizarov frame in the correction of femoral deformity
The Ortho-SUV frame (OSF) is a novel hexapod circular external fixator which draws upon the innovation of the Ilizarov method and the advantages of hexapod construction in the three-dimensional control of bone segments. Stability of fixation is critical to the success or failure of an external circular fixator for fracture or osteotomy healing. In vitro biomechanical modelling study was perform...
متن کاملA Biomechanical Comparison between Taylor’s Spatial Frame and Ilizarov External Fixator
ABSTRACT Taylor's spatial frame (TSF) and Ilizarov external fixators (IEF) are two circular external fixator commonly used to address complex deformity and fractures. There is currently no data available comparing the biomechanical properties of these two external fixators. This study looks into the mechanical characteristics of each system. TSF rings with 6 oblique struts, 4 tube connectors, 4...
متن کاملA new external ring fixator for limb reconstruction: a mechanical study
Background and purpose: The mechanical behavior of an external ring fixator has a direct influence on the bone healing process. In fact, the axial stiffness of the frame and the stability of its elements under repeated loading are essential to promote the bone healing process. In this study we aimed to compare the mechanical behavior of the Stryker Hoffmann LRF (Limb Reconstruction Frame) to tw...
متن کاملRelapsed clubfoot correction with soft-tissue release and selective application of Ilizarov technique
The Ilizarov technique is an alternative for the treatment of complex foot deformities in children. The authors retrospectively reviewed children with relapsed clubfoot deformity, treated with soft tissue procedures and additional correction with an Ilizarov frame. Twelve consecutive patients (13 feet) with relapsed clubfoot deformity after previous surgical correction were reviewed. Treatment ...
متن کاملImproved wire stiffness with modified connection bolts in Ilizarov external frames: a biomechanical study.
Frame stability in Ilizarov external fixators is mainly dependent on the tension of the transosseous wires, which are clamped to the ring by connection bolts. It was the purpose of this biomechanical study to investigate the holding capacity of a modified bolt design featuring a ruffled wire-bolt interface (TrueLok™) and its influence on wire stiffness in comparison with that of classic bolts f...
