Abstract
|
|
|
|
Acute bone shortening and delayed lengthening by Ilizarov surgery have been used to treat a wide range of soft tissue injuries including open fracture, osteomyelitis of the tibia and lower leg amputation. It has advantages such as bone lengthening as well as minimizing the loss of damaged tissues via tissue expansion. Here, we report a case of 52-year-old male with satisfactory results through acute bone shortening, replantation, and gradual bone lengthening after complete amputation of the ankle with related literature reviews.
