Bone transport using semicircular Ilizarov ring fixator in the treatment of the infected nonunion of the humerus: a case report
Kamarul Izham Kamarudin1, Then, Jun Wei2, Yeoh, Ching Wooi3, Ooi, Ying Jing4, Chopra, S5.
Bone transport using the Ilizarov technique has been
one of the most popular techniques in treating fracture
with significant bone defect. However, pain and joint
stiffness following Ilizarov fixation are few of the wellknown
complications. We report a case of a 23-year-old
gentleman with a closed left humeral diaphyseal fracture
following a traffic accident who underwent plating of the
left humerus which was later complicated with infected
nonunion. He was then treated with corticotomy and
bone lengthening using the semicircular Ilizarov ring
fixator. Good clinical and functional outcomes were
observed during transportation period (elbow flexion
10ÌŠ to 90ÌŠ) with minimal complications.
