How Ilizarov Surgery Can Help You
The Ilizarov surgery is a revolutionary orthopedic procedure that helps patients suffering from bone deformities, limb length discrepancies, and fractures that do not heal properly. This technique, developed by Dr. Gavriil Ilizarov, uses an external fixation device to stimulate bone growth and repair.
What Is Ilizarov Surgery?
Ilizarov surgery is a bone-lengthening and reconstruction technique used primarily to treat:
- Congenital limb deformities
- Non-healing fractures
- Bone infections (osteomyelitis)
- Trauma-related bone damage
- Leg length differences
How Does Ilizarov Surgery Work?
The Ilizarov external fixator consists of metal rings and wires attached to the affected limb. Over time, the device helps in bone regeneration and proper alignment, ensuring effective treatment.
Benefits of Ilizarov Surgery
- Corrects severe limb deformities without major bone grafting.
- Encourages natural bone healing and growth.
- Can be used for both children and adults.
- Minimal risk of infection compared to internal implants.
- Preserves limb function and mobility.
Recovery After Ilizarov Surgery
Recovery varies depending on the severity of the condition, but most patients can walk with assistance within a few weeks. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in strengthening the limb and improving mobility.
