External Ilizarov Method (Translated From Russian Text)
In our clinic we perform surgery to lengthen the legs on the basis of low-traumatic techniques using improved layouts Ilizarov fixator. The success of the operation and guarantee its security mainly depends on the quality of preoperative examination. Using computed tomography identifies all the dimensional characteristics of the legs: the length of each leg of each segment, their proportions down to the millimeter, and the state of the hip, knee and ankle joints. The operation is that, after installing the Ilizarov fixator shin, at different levels intersect tibia and fibula. Then with the help of external structures (sets), the patient themselves (with the help of simple devices) stretches shin bone at the intersection. In this growing callus fills widening gap cuts, lengthening bones.
The next day after surgery, the patient gets up and walks alone through "walkers." It is as follows: 5-6 days after start stretching of tissue bone (distraction) dosed by twisting the screws in the device in a certain rhythm and pace, calculated individually for each patient using a special computer program. Temp distraction (stretching) used for extending the legs is 0.5 - 1 mm per day and is a two-or four reception 1/4 turn nuts per day, respectively.
In the elongation zone formed regenerate bone, which increases the length of time during distraction. Later, after the extension period (distraction), it takes time to complete the process of ossification (ossification) of the newly formed regenerate.
Terms of use of external fixation devices depend on the extension of the lower extremities (the larger the value the longer the extension fixation apparatus), and in addition to the individual characteristics of the patient (sex, age, presence of chronic diseases) and the average of 6 to 12 months.
Very important in this process is itself an external fixator. There are different types and variations of an external fixator, which is carried out by means of lengthening, but almost all of them have a significant disadvantage large dimensions that cause discomfort when wearing limit the movement of the joints. We solved this problem by creating a compact, space-saving arrangement of the Ilizarov fixator clamps with rigid structure capable of withstanding all loads for limb lengthening and does not restrict movement in the adjacent joints and wearing. The entire period of the extension, a thorough inspection by a doctor using X-ray and computed tomography studies. After removal of structures (spokes and rods) are small marks on the skin, but over time they become lighter and almost indistinguishable.
Patient performed independently under the supervision of a physician periodic 1-2 times a month. The number of days required to achieve the chosen patient is calculated as follows: elongation (elongation at 3 cm distraction require 30 days - given rate of 1 mm per day, etc., sometimes stretched over time, the amount is from 0.5 to 1 mm).
