Congenital Deformities treated with Ilizarov

Dr. Suhas Shah is a renowned orthopedic surgeon from India who has extensive experience in using the Ilizarov technique to treat various congenital deformities in children. Some of the congenital deformities that can be treated with the Ilizarov technique include:

Clubfoot:

Clubfoot is a condition in which the foot is turned inward or downward. The Ilizarov technique can be used to gradually correct the position of the foot using external fixation.

Congenital dislocation of the hip:

This is a condition in which the hip joint is abnormally formed, leading to instability and dislocation. The Ilizarov technique can be used to gradually reposition the hip joint and improve its stability.

Limb length discrepancy:

This is a condition in which one limb is shorter than the other, leading to difficulties with walking and other activities. The Ilizarov technique can be used to lengthen the shorter limb gradually, allowing for more even gait and improved function.

Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia:

This is a rare condition in which the tibia bone fails to heal after a fracture or break. The Ilizarov technique can be used to stimulate bone growth and promote healing.

Congenital vertical talus:

This is a condition in which the foot is abnormally positioned and rigid, making it difficult to walk. The Ilizarov technique can be used to gradually correct the position of the foot and improve its flexibility.
