Correction of Genu Recurvatum Deformity in Polio Patients by Ilizarov Technique – A Single-center 24 Patient Case Study
Journal Title: Journal of Bone and Joint Diseases - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Background: The younger generation of orthopedic surgeons having lile experience with polio and its residual deformities should reinvent their skills to deal with challenge of its resurgence. Our knowledge and experience in dealing with genu recurvatum deformity with ilizarov method in polio patients need to be shared. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four cases of genu recurvatum deformity corrected with distal femoral osteotomy and fixed with ilizarov apparatus in our center from 1994 to 2016 were evaluated. Results: Nineteen patients had excellent results, two had good results, while three cases had fair outcome. Conclusion: Ilizarov technique has given excellent and reproducible results with minimal complications in genu recurvatum deformity in polio.
