BÁO CÁO CA LÂM SÀNG: TRƯỜNG HỢP ĐỘNG HÓA KHỚP CỔ CHÂN BẰNG KHUNG ILIZAROV TẠI BỆNH VIỆN QUÂN Y 7A

Abstract

Overview: This report presents the Ilizarov technique, an external bone fixation method used in the treatment of bone lengthening, nonunion fractures, bone loss, bone deformity correction, or bone fusion. The Ilizarov technique is particularly advantageous in cases of open and complex fractures. This method allows limb preservation in the treatment of fractures that are unresponsive to other approaches. We report a case of ankle joint mobilization using the Ilizarov frame at Military Hospital 7A. Case report: The 49-year-old male patient sustained a grade IIIB open fracture of the distal third of two bones in his left leg due to a traffic accident. He was treated using the Ilizarov technique for ankle joint mobilization at Military Hospital 7A. Discussion: The Ilizarov technique offers advantages such as minimally invasive application, reduced infection risk, and flexibility in bone alignment. However, the primary disadvantages include prolonged treatment duration and cumbersome equipment, which may interfere with the patient's daily activities. Conclusion: The successful case at Military Hospital 7A demonstrates that the Ilizarov technique provides effective recovery for patients with complex fractures and infections, proving its feasibility and efficacy in clinical practice
