Treatment of non union of humerus using G. A. Ilizarov technique.

The management of the non union of humerus is one of the most challenging problems that the surgeon confronts in his practice. The procedures traditionally used are: I.M. Nailing, interlocking, plating, transplantation of allograft. In our series, 36 cases with non union has been treated by G.A. Ilizarov technique. The age range were: 21-62 years with an average of 32 years. The initial treatment were done by DCP, rush nails & plates with screw fixation. The duration of treatment ranged from 5-11 months (average 8 months). With the application of Ilizarov fixator a good range of elbow & shoulder motion were achieved. The average follow up period was 5 years with a range of 1-8 years. Union was achieved in all the 36 cases.

Surgical reconstruction of leprotic foot drop.

We have operated 152 patients for correction of foot-drop due to leprosy from March 1992 to July 1999. The method used was circumtibial transfer of the tibial is posterior to the tendons of extensor hellucis longus and the extensor digitorum longus in the foot together with lengthening of the Achilles tendon. The results were satisfactory in 135 of these cases as judged by adequate restoration of heel--toe gait and of active dorsiflexion. The follow up period ranged from 6 months to 8 years. Inadequate post-operative physiotherapy was the reason for unsatisfactory results in seventeen cases.

Surgical reconstruction of leprotic foot-drop.

We have operated on 25 patients for correction of foot-drop due to leprosy from March 1992 to July 1994. The method used was circumtibial transfer of the tibialis posterior to the tendons of extensor hellucis longus and the extensor digitorum longus in the foot together with lengthening of the Achilles tendon. The results were satisfactory in 20 of these cases as judged by adequate restoration of heel-toe gait and of active dorsiflexion. The follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 2 years. Inadequate post-operative physiotherapy was the reason for unsatisfactory results in five cases.
