Ilizarov Extemal Fixator for Teatment of Humerus Shaft and Distal Humerus Fracture
|

|
Abstract
|
|
|
The fractures of the humeral shaft are generally treated nonoperatively and good results could be achieved by conservative treatment. Open reduction and internal fixation is indicated in such cases that conservative treatments were failed or
early
mobilization of the involved limbs was needed because of associated injuries.
But in some cases the Ilizarov treatement cluld be a kind of good method for treating humerus shaft fracture and distal humerus fracture in comparison with the conservative treatment or open reduction and interal fixation. The following could be
good
indication s for llizarov treatment: If the open reduction and internal fixation is indicated but the bad skin and soft tissues could not allow the open reduction and interal fixation, or if the comminution of the fracture is too severe and
extensive
for open reduction and internal fixation, or if the humerus shaft fracture is an open fracture.
Authors treated 3 cases of humerus shaft fractures, l case of nonunion of humerus shaft fracture and l case of comminuted fracture of distal humerus involving articular surface of the elbow by using Ilizarov external fixator.
