[Lengthening of the extremities by the G.A. Ilizarov method]. / Udlinenie konechnostei po G.A. Ilizarovu.

In the article are analysed the results of limb segment lengthening after Ilizarov with 101 patient (49 thighs, 29 cruses, 13 feet, 9 arms, 4 forearms) at the age of 2-50 years. The average lengthening values are: crus--3.8 cm., thigh--3.4 cm., foot--2.5 cm., arm--4.7 cm., forearm--2.0 cm. For complete regenerate ossification, in terms of I cm. lengthening, the stable fixation by means of an apparatus is necessary during: crus--29.4 day, thigh--15.5, foot--33.2, arm--17.4, forearm--28.1. Good results have been obtained in 99 cases (95.3%), satisfactory--4 (3.8%), unsatisfactory--1 (0.9%).

[Clinico-radiologic evaluation of deformation of the foot and lower limb in congenital clubfoot]. / Kliniko-rentgenologicheskaia otsenka deformatsii stopy i nizhnei konechnosti pri vrozhdennoi kosolaposti.

In a typical form of congenital club foot there is a complex primary and secondary post-loading deformation both of the feet and of all the bones of the lower extremity which by all means should be taken into consideration when correction with apparatuses of perosseous external fixation is carried out for the complete elimination of the congenital malformation and the prevention of a recurrent deformation.
