CORRECTION OF FEMUR DEFORMITIES BY ILIZAROV METHOD AND BY APPARATUS «ORTHO-SUV» BASED ON COMPUTER NAVIGATION

Abstract

Results of correction of femur deformations by Ilizarov method and with apparatus Orto-SuV working on the basis of computer navigation are analyzed. For elimination of difficult deformations in order to avoid multiple external fixator remounting with stage-by-stage radiological control it is expedient to use apparatus Orto-SUV. In order to elimination of moderate and simple deformations (except torsion) as hexapods and traditional techniques can be a choice method. The use «Orto-SUV» apparatus allows to reduce time necessary for deformation correction and osteosynthesis term in 1,4–2,4 times (for average and severe deformations).
