Welcome to Ilizarovsugery.com
G.A. ilizarov described a revolutionary technique in 1950 while working in a remote town of Siberia, using a ring fixator. It is interesting to note that though Ilizarov described the law of tension stress in 1950, the rest of the world was totally unaware till the Italians accidentally discovered the technique in 1980s. Since then it has been widely practiced all over the world and lot of further research has been done since then.
A lot of work has been done to understand the intricacies of this technique popularly known as the Ilizarov technique or the Russian technique. Ilizarov described a technique based on what he called the principle of tension stress. He found out that if the cut ends of the bone are distracted in a rhythmic fashion using a ring fixator, then there is new bone formation in the gap created and there is also simultaneous growth of the other tissues like muscles and nerves.

Various conditions where the Ilizarov technique is used and gives excellent results are :
- Limb lengthening
- Deformity Correction
- Infected Non-unions
- Treatment of Joint Contractures e.g. resistant congenital talipes euino varus, post burns contractures, post-traumatic stiffness.
- Fixation of complex fractures
- Bone transport & Osteomyelitis
- Treatment of Arthritis
- Arthrodesis
With better understanding and application of the principles of Ilizarov technique and a technology leap we now have more than the ring fixator e.g. Dynamic Uniplanar Fixators – Orthofix, LRS (Limb Reconstruction System) and Hexapod Fixator (the versatile computer aided six-axis correction system) in our kitty to give to the patient. We can now apply these principles in internal fixation achieving comparable results with added advantage of convenience.
