Abstract

This retrospective study was done in department of orthopedic surgery, academic level 1 trauma center. During the period from August 2012 to August 2017 it included 23 patients (25 knees) with lower limb deformity whom had gradual correction of the lower limb deformity using Ilizarov device. The mean age of the patients was 26.5 years (10-45 years). Sixteen were males and nine females. Sixteen cases had genue varum and 9 cases had genue valgum deformity, the complication rate and the clinical outcome including the duration of treatment. The mean age at operation was 20.7 years; the mean follow-up was 21.1 months. All cases showed correction of deformity postoperatively. The mean preoperative “Hospital for Special Surgery" (HSS) scores was 60 and improved to a mean of 93 at follow-up. All limbs had excellent or good HSS scores. Disadvantages of this technique were mainly pin tract infection and poor patient acceptance and noncompliance. The Ilizarov device allows accurate results in correction of complex lower limb deformities with minimal morbidity.
