Project Description
Ilizarov -Deformity
The Ilizarov external fixator is the name of the device used to lengthen bones. It is a very powerful tool that may also be used to stabilize fractures, re grow lost bone or correct deformities in the length rotation or angles of bones.
Ilizarov mainly depend on synthesizing new bone by distraction & correction of deformities using various rings. Though controlled mechanically applied tension, Ilizarove can regenerate (grow) bone and soft tissues in a reliable and reproducible manner
Process of lengthening bones
The device is attached to two ends of bones. When the device is adjusted several times a day, tension puts the ends of bone slightly apart. The body’s natural healing process fills in this space with new bone. The above bone can be lengthened by about 1 mm each day. The device remains in place until the new bone becomes strong
Indications of Ilizarov Technique
From acute fracture to obscure disease such as bunger’s TAO
- 3 D correction of any deformity of limbs
Limb lengthening
Non Union & Soft tissues defects
Osteo Myelitis
Bone and Joint contractue deformities
Arthrodesis
Congenital deformities like Radial clubbing
Hemimelia of lower / upper limbs
Proximal bone femoral defiencies
Congenital pseudorathris tibia
