ILizarov Round External Fixator

Features:

• Biological tissue is subjected to slow and continuous extension to produce a certain amount of tension, which can stimulate the regeneration and active growth of tissue.
• Pre-assembled hinges, angular distractors, and other functional components which are easy to connect, align and operate.
• Modular nature allows for the construction of  individual frames; hinges provide a free combination for  various deformities.

 Indications:

• Severe or complex traumatic fractures, such as multiple, comminuted fractures or soft tissue injuries
• Partially infected fractures, such as acute chronic focal infection (osteomyelitis)
• Nonunion, defect, pathological resection of large segment of bone
• Congenital tibiofibula false joint
• Bone deformities: healing after trauma, congenital deformities (angular, limb shortening, syndactylia)
• Joint diseases: deformity, contracture, spasticity, dislocation, dysplasia and degeneration
• Limb extension and reconstruction:  limb discrepancy, limb lengthening 
• Deformity of foot and ankle:  talipes equinovarus, talipes cavus, cerebral palsy foot drop
• Treatment with distraction osteogenesis : regeneration of skin, muscles, tendons, blood vessels and nerves; Chronic ischemic vascular diseases, such as obliterans, diabetes
• Other adjuvant treatments, eg. dislocation treatment is performed before artificial joint replacement
