No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To compare between bifocal and trifocal external bone transport by ilizarov ring external fixator as a treatment method for posttraumatic bone defects more than 5cm in lower extremities regarding:

* External fixation index .
* The need of any further surgical procedures as debridement at docking site , the need of cancellous bone graft or the use of internal fixation.
* Functional outcome, complication rate as well as limb length discrepancy.

Conditions

  • Bone Loss

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Bifocal bone transport.

The bifocal approach is a single osteotomy to create one transported bone segment between the osteotomy and the defect.

PROCEDURE

Trifocal bone transport

The trifocal approach is two osteotomies creating two separate transported bone segments.
