EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TREATMENT FOR HAND BONE FRACTURES USING THE ILIZAROV MINI DEVICE

Abstract

The work shows that the use of the device allowed achieving early consolidation of bone tissue, reducing the risk of post-traumatic contractures and reducing the rehabilitation period. We assessed the treatment outcomes as follows: - good - in 37 (77.1%), - satisfactory - in 10 (20.8%) and - unsatisfactory - in 1 (2.1%) patient. The reason for the unsatisfactory results is the secondary infected wounds developed around the spoke, so the device was removed and a plaster cast was used.
