Ilizarov Apparatus in Cambodia: a Review of Its History and Versatility in a Resources Poor Region Asian Biomedicine Vol. 7 No. 6 December 2013;885-892 DOI: 10.5372/1905-7415.0706.254 Clinical report Ilizarov apparatus in Cambodia: a review of its history and versatility in a resources poor region. With case illustrations Rupert Wharton, Suzanne Zeidler, James Gollogly, Cheng Ngiep Ou, James Aird Children’s Surgical Centre, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Background: The Ilizarov apparatus is a versatile external fixation system that can be used for a variety of indications in orthopaedic and reconstructive surgery to provide stability, bone transport, and correct angular deformities. The Children’s Surgical Centre is a non-governmental hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia providing free elective surgery to Cambodian nationals. The Ilizarov apparatus has been used in our centre since 2005. Objective: We described the frame’s use in our centre and discuss its impact on our patient population. Methods: This is an analysis of care series with six illustrated examples. Results: The apparatus is well tolerated by patients. Its use results in higher rate of unions. Conclusion: Ilizarov apparatus is associated with higher rates of unions. This external fixation is suitable for areas where access to healthcare is impeded by distance.

Background. The use of an external fixator for the purpose of distraction osteogenesis has been applied to a wide range of orthopedic problems caused by such diverse etiologies as congenital disease, metabolic conditions, infections, traumatic injuries, and congenital short stature. The purpose of this study was to analyze our experience of utilizing this method in patients undergoing a variety of orthopedic procedures of the femur. Methods. We retrospectively reviewed our experience of using external fixation for femoral reconstruction. Three subgroups were defined based on the primary reconstruction goal lengthening, deformity correction, and repair of nonunion/bone defect. Factors such as leg length discrepancy (LLD), limb alignment, and external fixation time and complications were evaluated for the entire group and the 3 subgroups. Results. There was substantial improvement in the overall LLD, femoral length discrepancy, and limb alignment as measured by mechanical axis deviation (MAD) and lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA) for the entire group as well as the subgroups.

IVD degeneration is characterized by an abnormal cell-mediated response leading to the stimulation of different catabolic biomarkers and activation of signalling pathways. In the last few decades, hyaluronic acid (HA), which has been broadly used in tissue-engineering, has popularised due to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and extracellular matrix enhancing properties. Hence, there is expressed interest in treating the IVD using different HA compositions. An ideal HA-based biomaterial needs to be compatible and supportive of the disc microenvironment in general and inhibit inflammation and downstream cascades leading to the innervation, vascularisation and pain sensation in particular. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMW HA) and HA-based biomaterials used as therapeutic delivery platforms have been trialled in preclinical models and clinical trials. In this paper, we reviewed a series of studies focused on assessing the effect of different compositions of HA as a therapeutic, targeting IVD degeneration.

Analytical review A.M. Aranovich, M.V. Stogov, E.A. Kireeva, T.I. Menshchikova Russian Ilizarov Scientific Centre for Restorative Traumatology and Orthopaedics, Kurgan, Russian Federation This review analyzes and assesses the existing methods and approaches to prediction and control of the course of distraction osteogenesis (DO). The analysis of the literature revealed few works that recommended specific predictors or methods for prognosis of the course of distraction osteogenesis at the stages of limb lengthening. The authors identified some diagnostic criteria for assessing the distraction regenerate as potential criteria for predicting its development and maturation. It was found that all available predictors and potential diagnostic criteria for assessing the state of the distraction regenerate in clinical practice are used to further correct the distraction regime (respectively, at the stage of distraction) and to determine the timing of the removal of the apparatus, as well as prognosis of recurrence, fracture, and deformity of the regenerate in the non-apparatus period. It was shown that all known diagnostic methods can be applied for the assessment and prediction of the DO course: radiological, physiological, ultrasound diagnostics, laboratory tests. It is stated that a quantitative assessment of the informative value of most of the known predictors of DO disorders is necessary from the point of view of the evidence-based medicine. Difficulties and problems of the development and application of prognostic tests for assessing DO are described.

    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 08, Issue 03, 2021 Management of distal tibial intra-articular fractures by using ring external fixators assisted arthroscopically Mohammed Safwat Shalabi, Mohammed Abdel Wahab Ibrahim, Ashraf Abd Al-Daim Mohamed, Mohammed Osama Mohammed Morsi* Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine - Zagazig University *Corresponding author: Mohammed Osama Mohammed Morsi, Mobile: (+20) 0107682955, E-Mail: [email protected] Background: Tibial pilon fractures are relatively uncommon injuries, representing only 1% of all fractures of the lower limb and 5% to 10% of those of the tibia. Frequent comminution and the thin soft-tissue envelope in the area make the treatment of these fractures challenging. The tibial pilon is characterised by a total absence of muscle coverage and marginal vascularity, therefore, even moderate trauma often results in extensive soft-tissue damage. Objective: The aim of this present study was to evaluate the arthroscopic assisted (Ilizarov) ring external fixation of distal tibial intra articular (pilon) fractures. Patients and methods: This was a prospective study conducted between February 2012 and April 2015 on thirty patients with closed and Gustilo Types I & II open fractures of pilon fractures of the distal tibia who were admitted to Zagazig University Hospitals. during a period of two years and all cases were treated by Ilizarov fixators with or without limited internal fixation and assessment of intra-articular reduction tibial plafond by arthroscopy. Results: Nineteen patients had right-sided injury, eleven patients had left sided injury and one patient had bilateral injury. At the time of injury the youngest patient was 19 years old and the oldest was 6o years.

  • Version 4 17/11/16 27. Ilizarov Technique
    27. Ilizarov Technique / Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) Commissioning Statement Treatment Elective use of the Ilizarov technique/Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) in adults Background The Ilizarov apparatus is a type of external fixation used in orthopaedic surgery to lengthen or reshape limb bones; to treat complex and/or open bone fractures; and in cases of infected non-unions of bones that are not amenable with other techniques. The Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) is more versatile and easier to use, but very costly. The appropriate use of Ilizarov frames in non-elective traumatic injury is routinely commissioned; complex cases requiring specialist treatment are commissioned by NHS England1. Commissioning This commissioning policy is needed to clarify under which circumstances the position elective use of the Ilizarov technique is commissioned. The use of the Ilizarov technique will NOT be commissioned where limb lengthening alone is the desired outcome as this would be deemed cosmetic and not medically necessary (NB: NHS Vale of York CCG does NOT routinely commission an elective intervention on patients who have a BMI of 30 or above (classified as obese) or patients who are recorded as a current smoker – see commissioning statement 01. Optimising Outcomes from All Elective Surgery**) NHS Vale of York CCG commissions the use of the Ilizarov technique/TSFs for elective use in orthopaedics in individual carefully selected cases which fulfill these criteria • Complex mal-union or non-union of fractures (after at least 6 months duration or 9 months where the „Exogen‟ ultrasound bone healing system has been tried and failed2). • Bone deformity (affecting the leg/knee/ankle), including limb length discrepancy, that has resulted in chronic pain and/or difficulty walking and/or an increased risk of developing osteoarthritis3.

Purpose was the determination of the role of the connective tissues dysplastic disorders for remodeling processes of the anterior chest wall in children with PE in post- operative periods. Investigation performed on 40 children, who underwent operative treatment by the D. Nuss procedure in Clinic of SRITO RUz, with PE. Genetic assessment was carried out by the T. Milkovska-Dmitrova and A. Karakeshev classification (1985). Good results were obtained in 35 cases in the nearest postoperative periods, 5 cases were with the severe pain and in long-term periods was occurred the PC deformity in 2 cases, secondary atypical deformation in 1, the relapse of PE till I degree in 1 and in 1 case was saved the neuralgic pain. The connective tissues dysplasia is a congenital character genesis, characterized by metabolic disorders in the stroma tissues and several enzymopathy. The osseo-cartilaginous structural system growth processes were not behavioral in the necessary age norm of locomotors apparatus and with the delaying of ossification processes also in the adolescent's age and the sterno-costal complex became most pliable. These changes complicated the correction method of PE, extended the period of immobilization.
