ABSTRACT
Objective To design a new correction device for elbow deformity with active orthopedic force based on Ilizarov technique, and discuss its curative effect on elbow orthotics in clinic. Methods A total of 44 patients with elbow joint dysfunction were randomly divided into treatment group (n=22) and control group (n=22), and treated with new deformity orthotic device and continuous positive motion, respectively. The functional recovery of the elbow joint for patients in two groups was evaluated after 3-month treatment. Results The range of motion (ROM) of elbow flexion-extension in treatment group was significantly larger than that in control group, and the effective rate for treatment group and control group was 90.91% and 81.82%, respectively. Conclusions The use of such correction device for elbow deformity showed good curative effect for treating elbow joint dysfunction, which is worth popularization and application in clinic.
