Abstract

[Indexed for MEDLINE] 13. Clin Plast Surg. 1998 Oct;25(4):567-78. The Ilizarov method. Orthopedic and soft tissue applications. Gugenheim JJ Jr(1). Author information: (1)Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. The Ilizarov method has broad applications for the generation of bone and soft tissue via an external fixator composed of small pins, tensional wires, rings, hinges and distractors. The success of the technique depends on adherence to Ilizarov's principles of tension-stress phenomenon: preservation of the tissues' blood supply, frequent distraction in small increments, and full function of the extremity.
