The Ilizarov apparatus is a type of external fixation used in orthopedic surgery to lengthen or reshape limb bones; as a limb-sparing technique to treat complex and/or open bone fractures; and in cases of infected non Sunions of bones that are not amenable with other techniques. Ilizarov frames provide a versatile fixation system for the management of bony deformities, fractures and their complications. The frames give stability, soft tissue preservation, adjustability and functionality allowing bone to realise its full osteogenic potential.

Ilizarov is a circular frame used to hold bones in place; this is a type of external fixation. The frame holds broken bones in place to allow healing through the use of rings and wires. The metal rings will go fully or partly round your leg with the metal wires going through your bone and attaching to the rings.

Walking and weight bearing: We will aim to wean you off your walking aid/s as soon as you are able (this is usually 6 to 8 weeks after the frame has been applied but is longer if you are carrying out corrections). Weight bearing is important as it stimulates the bone to heal.   Dr Sunil saini has an expertise in ilizarov surgey. He has been trained to give best to his patient. Dr Sunil Saini had gone extensive training for deformity correction by ilizarov method- he had done his basic and advance course of deformity correction from Ganga ram…

DSCB (Distal Sodium Channel Blocker) is a special cocktail sodium channel blocking agents which are used for pain management.

At our Center we have 80-90 % success rate with DSCB inj.

Dscb Injection Can Be Repeated 3-4 Times Without Any Side Effects.

Number Of Injections Required Vary From Condition To Condition. Usually Patient Get Relief In 2-3 Sittings.

Dscb Are For Pain Management . Once Pain Is Controlled We Advice Physioyherapy, Few Medications , Rehabilitation And Life Style Modifications.

Uses of DSCB Inj? Disc prolapsed Sciatica Si joint pain Hamstring spasm Cervical spondylosis Frozen shoulder Tennis elbow Golfers elbow Carpal tunnel syndrome

DSCB is an OPD procedure without any side effects and patient start felling relief in pain after 20-30 mins post injection application. As it is used for pain management only ,so it has to be augmented with physiotherapy and life style modification- patient can go for physio immediately. It can be repeated again when required without any side effects.

A fracture is a medical term for a broken bone. It occurs when a bone is subjected to more pressure than it can withstand, resulting in a crack or complete break. Fractures can happen due to various reasons, such as trauma from accidents, falls, or sports injuries, or due to conditions that weaken bones, like osteoporosis or bone tumors.

We classify fracture as: Simple Fracture Compound Fracture- Here Fracture Is Exposed To External Environment Due To Loss In Skin Integrity Complex Fracture- Comminuted ,Segmental ,Intra-Articular, Fracture With Bone Loss

An Intra articular Fracture Is A Fracture That Crosses A Joint Surface. Such Fractures Also Involve Some Cartilage Damage. Fractures To Joints Are More Complicated To Treat And Heal Than Simple Fractures, As Multiple Bones Are Involved. Bone Fragments Inside The Damaged Joint May Impede Healing Time And Efficacy.

Limb lengthening is a surgical procedure that involves cutting the bone and gradually pulling it apart using a special external or internal device. This process allows new bone to form in the gap, effectively increasing the length of the bone.

The amount of length that can be gained varies depending on the individual case and the specific technique used. Generally, up to 5-8 centimeters (2-3 inches) can be achieved in one procedure. Multiple procedures may be required for greater length.

Insurance coverage for limb lengthening varies depending on the specific reason for surgery. If the surgery is deemed medically necessary (e.g., correcting a leg length discrepancy or treating a deformity), there's a higher chance of coverage. It's important to check with your insurance provider beforehand to understand your coverage details.

The entire process can take anywhere from 3 to 12 months, depending on the amount of lengthening and individual healing.

There are two types of limb lengthening: Internal fixation: An internal lengthening device (like an intramedullary nail) is implanted within the bone. Adjustments are made with an external remote control. External fixation: An external fixator, a metal frame with pins attached to the bone, is used to gradually distract the bone ends. The choice of method depends on your specific case and surgeon's preference.
