Abstract
Ilizarov's polysegmental osteosynthesis of the lower extremities is an important surgical method for correcting deformities and shortenings in children and adolescents. This article highlights the current aspects of using this method in pediatric orthopedics, including its effectiveness, treatment results and prospects for use.
Ilizarov polysegmental osteosynthesis is widely used to restore the structure and function of limbs in patients with various congenital and acquired deformities, such as bone development abnormalities, deformities after injuries and operations. The method is based on the principles of external fixation, which allows you to correct the position of bones using special frames and thin needles inserted into the bone through skin punctures. This ensures gradual stretching and alignment of bone structures during the healing period.
The main objective of our study was to study the results полисегментарногоof Ilizarov polysegmental osteosynthesis in children and adolescents with various pathologies of the lower extremities. We analyzed medical records and clinical data of patients who underwent surgery in our medical facility. The evaluation included analysis of functional results, X-ray data before and after treatment, as well as assessment of complications and rehabilitation period.
Our results showed a high efficiency полисегментарногоof Ilizarov polysegmental osteosynthesis in correcting deformities and shortenings of the lower extremities in children. Most patients achieved a significant improvement in the functional activity of the limb and the stability of its structure. Clinical and radiological data confirmed the successful alignment of bone structures and restoration of limb length, which led to an improvement in the quality of life of young patients.
In conclusion, Ilizarov polysegmental osteosynthesis is an effective and safe method in the treatment of deformities and shortenings of the lower extremities in children and adolescents. Further research is needed to detail long-term outcomes and optimize treatment strategies based on the individual characteristics of each patient.
