Lengthening of the extremities by the G.A. Ilizarov method

In the article are analysed the results of limb segment lengthening after Ilizarov with 101 patient (49 thighs, 29 cruses, 13 feet, 9 arms, 4 forearms) at the age of 2-50 years. The average lengthening values are: crus--3.8 cm., thigh--3.4 cm., foot--2.5 cm., arm--4.7 cm., forearm--2.0 cm. For compl...

Description
Summary:	In the article are analysed the results of limb segment lengthening after Ilizarov with 101 patient (49 thighs, 29 cruses, 13 feet, 9 arms, 4 forearms) at the age of 2-50 years. The average lengthening values are: crus--3.8 cm., thigh--3.4 cm., foot--2.5 cm., arm--4.7 cm., forearm--2.0 cm. For complete regenerate ossification, in terms of I cm. lengthening, the stable fixation by means of an apparatus is necessary during: crus--29.4 day, thigh--15.5, foot--33.2, arm--17.4, forearm--28.1. Good results have been obtained in 99 cases (95.3%), satisfactory--4 (3.8%), unsatisfactory--1 (0.9%).
