Experimental assessment of changes in bone fragment position using infraread diodes on saw bone models with a hexapod fixator
Background: The purpose of this study was an experimental assessment of changes in bone fragment position in patients with non-union of the tibia treated with a hexapod fixator. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that the use of hexapod fixators leads to differences between the planned and actual position of bone fragments. Methods: The study was conducted in physical models of the hexapod fixator–bone fragment system. Bone fragment displacement was measured using the Optotrak Certus Motion Capture System. We assessed differences between the planned and actual position of bone fragments. Results: Assessment of bone fragment compression demonstrated a difference between the target and actual correc…
Kinematic parameters after tibial nonunion treatment using the Ilizarov method
Abstract Background Analysis of the outcomes of Ilizarov treatment of tibial nonunion shows functional deficits in the lower limbs of some patients. Biomechanical gait parameters are an important measure for assessing musculoskeletal disorder treatments that aim to restore normal gait. The purpose of our study was to compare the kinematic parameters in patients with tibial nonunion treated using the Ilizarov method and those in a control group of healthy volunteers. Methods The study population consisted of 23 patients (age 54.9 ± 16.4 years) who were treated for tibial nonunion using the Ilizarov method, as well as 22 healthy adult controls (age 52.7 ± 10.6 years). Kinematic parameters wer…
Gait Symmetry Analysis in Patients after Treatment of Pilon Fractures by the Ilizarov Method
The aim of this study was to comprehensively assess the gait parameters in patients who had undergone treatment of pilon fractures by the Ilizarov method. We analyzed gait parameters in patients who had undergone treatment for pilon fractures by the Ilizarov method
