Why These Cases Are Different

When Is Ilizarov Surgery Used?

• Infected non-union

• Non-union of fractures

• Significant bone loss

• Limb shortening

• Complex deformities

• Difficult fracture complications

• Bone and soft-tissue reconstruction

Conditions Treated

These are not routine fractures.

• Infected Non-union

• Non-union

• Bone Loss

• Limb Shortening

• Limb Deformity

• Complex Fractures

• Limb Lengthening

When several of these problems occur together, treatment requires specialized limb reconstruction planning.

Ilizarov: More Than a Frame

The Ilizarov method is not simply the application of an external frame.

It is a reconstructive strategy that can combine:

Infection Control

Management of infected bone and previous implants.

Stable Fixation

Providing mechanical stability to the healing bone.

Bone Transport

Reconstruction of selected large bone defects.

Deformity Correction

Gradual correction of complex alignment problems.

Limb Lengthening

Restoration of selected limb-length discrepancies.

Limb Salvage

An attempt to preserve and restore a severely compromised limb when conventional treatment options are limited.
