Ilizarov method used for the sequela of growth cartilage lesions

Ilizarov distraction osteogenesis is a good way to correct sequelae of growth plate injury after completion of the growth. There is often both limb length discrepancy and angular deformation in varus, valgus, flexum, and recurvatum after surgery or trauma in childhood. Such deformations of the dista...

Description
Summary:	Ilizarov distraction osteogenesis is a good way to correct sequelae of growth plate injury after completion of the growth. There is often both limb length discrepancy and angular deformation in varus, valgus, flexum, and recurvatum after surgery or trauma in childhood. Such deformations of the distal femoral growth plate, both proximal and distal tibial and distal radial will be presented, treated by a one-step Ilizarov method.
