چکیده
We report two cases with windswept deformities of the lower extremities. All deformities were corrected by fixator-assisted intramedullary nailing. At the latest follow-up, the patients had normal alignment, without symptoms and no loss of correction.

Fixator-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 کاملAdult Posttraumatic Reconstruction Using a Magnetic Internal Lengthening Nail
A new generation of internal lengthening nail is now available that has reliable remote-controlled mechanisms. This allows accurate and well-controlled distraction rate and rhythm, and early clinical results have been very positive. In this article, 2 posttraumatic cases are presented that illustrate deformity correction and lengthening using the internal lengthening nail. Surgical planning and...
متن کاملTibial lengthening over an intramedullary nail.
BACKGROUND Long-term application of an external fixator to treat leg-length discrepancy and short stature often causes complications, such as pin-tract infection or loss of range of motion at the knee or ankle (or both). Prolonged fixator use also interferes with the activities of daily living. To minimize such problems, we have combined intramedullary nailing with external fixation. Using this...
متن کاملThree-dimensional correction of complex leg deformities using a software assisted external fixator.
The Taylor Spatial Frame is a computer assisted hexapod system allowing simultaneous correction of every component of complex limb deformities (leg length discrepancy, angulation, translation and rotation). We report our experience with this system in six patients. The planned correction was achieved in all cases. Minor complications occured in all but one patient without consequences; there we...

Background and purpose: Ëxternal fixation is currently considered as a standard treatment for open tibial fractures however, due to the long-term hospitalization and some other complications, some researchers have proposed intramedullary nailing as the alternative surgical treatment. This study was conducted to compare the treatment of open tibial shaft fractures by external fixation and int...
