Children return to school and many adults return to work as the treatment is progressing." The Ilizarov technique, named after the Rus- sian who developed it, allows the orthopedic surgeon to achieve greater increases in length than were previously achievable, frequently in half the treatment time, and without bone grafting. Pre- viously used techniques were associated with much higher complication rates. The Ilizarov technique also allows the treatment of orthopedic conditions that previously were not treatable except by amputation, including severe congenital deformities, bone defects, and non-unions of bone. UMMS is one of about half a dozen hospitals in North America currently using these techniques. Dr. Paley was the first North American orthopedic surgeon to work and study under Professor Gavril Abramovich Ilizarov, who developed the technique in Western Siberia, Rus- sia. Dr. Ilizarov's Institute is a 1,OOO-bedhospital for bone lengthening as well as for the treatment of bone defects, bone infusions and non-unions. Dr. Paley also spent six months working with llizarov external fixator applied to leg Dr. Paley and patient David C lugh, showing I lizarov the Italian surgeons who introduced this tech- apparatus in place nique to Western Europe only seven years ago.

Student Activities

The Class of 1990 was enter- tained at a Beef Roast in the Medi- cal School Teaching Facility in January. A large group of enthusias- tic second-year students attended, about 75% of the class. The Course Masters and Advisors enjoyed being with the students on an informal basis. Dean Dennis gave greetings and the students were relieved when the Alumni Association Presi- dent, Dr. James Frenkil, made only a few welcoming remarks. The Bulletin PageS
