Role of distraction compression osteogenesis by ilizarov ring fixator in complex non-union of long bones
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose: To review the outcome of 16 patients who underwent compression distraction osteogenesis for long bone nonunion by ilizarov ring fixator. Methods: A total of 16 patients were reviewed (13 male, 3female) of average age 46 years (17-60). All patients underwent compression distraction osteogenesis for union & bone lengthening by ilizarov ring fixator. Patients were assessed by ASAMI criteria for functional and bone outcome. Results: Patients were followed up for a mean period of 10 months. Functional outcome was assessed Excellent=7, Good=7, Fair=2 & Bone union outcome was Excellent=5, Good=10, Fair=1. Pin tract infection was most common problem encountered other were wire breakage, pressure necrosis, knee contracture and refracture all were managed accordingly. No major neurovascular complication was encountered. Conclusion: We concluded that ilizarov ring fixator is a viable option for Non-union of long bone.
