Treatment of aseptic nonunion of tibia study of 35 cases by ilizarov ring fixator: A prospective clinical study
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: To achieve union at nonunion site with correction of limb length discrepancy and correction of deformity with early function and mobilization. Methods: It is prospective study of treatment of aseptic nonunion of shaft tibia. Total 35 patients of tibial nonunion were studied. All relevant pre and perioperative information and complications were recorded. Also assessment of functional outcome was made. Results: In present series 32 out of 35 cases has united, about 91% success rate. The average duration of nonunion was about 14.5 months, average union time (fixator removal) is about 6.2 months. Two of our patient were showing poor tolerance to ilizarov external fixator changed to other modality. Conclusion: Ilizarov technique is very helpful in treating nonunion of long bones and has advantage of early wt. Bearing, movements of nearby joints encouraged which reduces edema and joint stiffness.
