Summary
Ilizarov
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics and Traumatology
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Congenital limb malformations often involve shortening and deformity.
- Limb lengthening and deformity correction are critical orthopedic challenges.
Observation:
- Ilizarov's apparatus allows simultaneous limb lengthening and deformity correction.
- The apparatus application is complex and associated with frequent complications.
Findings:
- Excellent results (75/102 cases) and good results (23/102 cases) were achieved using Ilizarov's apparatus.
- The study demonstrates various indications and outcomes in 7 representative cases.
Implications:
- Ilizarov's apparatus is an effective, albeit complex, treatment for congenital limb malformations.
- Successful limb reconstruction can significantly improve patient function and quality of life.
