POLYSEGMENTAL OSTEOSYNTHESIS OF THE LOWER EXTREMITIES BY THE ILIZAROV METHOD FOR CORRECTION OF DEFORMITIES AND SHORTENINGS IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

Аннотация

Polysegmental osteosynthesis using the Ilizarov method is an effective approach for correcting deformities and shortening of the lower extremities in children and adolescents. This method allows not only to correct congenital and acquired deformities, but also to restore the normal length of the limbs. The study analyzed the clinical data of 50 patients aged 5 to 18 years who were treated using the Ilizarov method. The results were evaluated using radiography and clinical criteria. As a result, 85% of patients showed a significant improvement in the functionality and aesthetic condition of the limbs. Keywords Polysegmental osteosynthesis, Ilizarov method, deformity correction, limb shortening, children, adolescents. Relevance Deformities and shortening of the lower extremities in children and adolescents are a serious medical problem that affects the quality of life and functional capabilities of patients. Congenital and acquired limb abnormalities can lead to significant movement restrictions, gait disorders, and pain syndromes. Modern methods of treatment are aimed at correcting these disorders and restoring the normal anatomy and function of the limbs. The Ilizarov method, developed by Soviet surgeon Gavriil Abramovich Ilizarov, has established itself as one of the most effective and versatile approaches to the treatment of deformities and shortening of limbs. ПолисегментарныйIlizarov polysegmental osteosynthesis allows achieving stable and predictable results, minimizing the risk of complications and ensuring a high level of recovery. The relevance of this study is determined by the need to further improve treatment methods and improve clinical outcomes in children and adolescents with deformities and shortenings of the lower extremities. Goal 25 SCIENCE AND INNOVATION IN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM International scientific-online conference The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of polysegmental osteosynthesis of the lower extremities using the Ilizarov method in children and adolescents in order to correct deformities and shortenings.
