Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study analyzed the results of treatment of bone loss using Ilizarov fixation after resection of benign tumor in the long bone radiologically and clinically.
Materials and Methods: Initial diagnoses were 5 osteofibrous dysplasia, 1 aneurysmal bone cyst and 1 giant cell tumor. Three indices were used to evaluate the results; percentage transport, healing index and percentage increase. The function of the affected limb was assessed according to Ennecking rating. And we assessed the radiological and functional results according to A.S.A.M.I.’s classification.
Results: Percentage transport averaged 75% (range: 29-144), healing index averaged 64.5 day/cm
(range: 34.8-108.6) and the percentage increase averaged 13% (range: 11-20). In Enneking rating, there were 6 cases that were classified as being better than good. In A.S.A.M.I.’s classification, there were 6 good cases, and 1 fair case each in the bone result and functional result, respectively.
Conclusion: Ilizarov technique is a reconstruction method using living bone. It is safe and effective
for the treatment of bone loss after the resection of a benign tumor in the long bone.
