Summary: The modified Ilizarov hip reconstruction surgery offers a minimally invasive, safe, and effective alternative for hip replacement surgery with satisfactory clinical outcomes. It significantly reduces surgery time and discomfort to patients, while avoiding disruption of blood supply at the osteotomy sites.

Summary: This study evaluated the outcome of simultaneous femoral and tibial lengthening using the Ilizarov frame. The results showed that planned limb lengthening can be achieved in one session, with shorter treatment time and reduced complications.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using distal tibial osteotomy compared to proximal osteotomy for limb lengthening in children. The results showed that distal tibial osteotomy performed using a circular frame can be safely employed for limb lengthening in children, and there was no significant difference compared to proximal osteotomy.

Summary: THA combined with secondary femoral lengthening can successfully reconstruct the hip joint and equalize leg length, but careful monitoring of patients is required.

Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the clinical and radiographic outcomes of cementless modular total hip arthroplasty with sub-trochanteric transverse shortening osteotomy for the treatment of high hip dislocations. The results showed that this treatment method provides sufficient rotational stability and promotes effective fracture healing with satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Summary: This study reported the early results of using the Ilizarov technique in performing medial wedge opening high tibial osteotomy (MWOHTO) combined with gradual tensioning of the posterolateral corner in adult patients presenting with genu varum (GV) and lateral thrust. The results showed promising functional and radiological outcomes of this surgical approach.

Summary: This study reviewed 18 limbs in 17 patients who underwent ankle fusion with simultaneous tibial lengthening using a magnetic internal lengthening nail. The results showed significant improvement in lengthening distance and limb length discrepancy, with pain relief and improved walking function for the patients.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the consequence of having acetabular dysplasia at skeletal maturity on the need for total hip arthroplasty (THA) up to the age of 60 years. The study found that acetabular dysplasia without subluxation was a risk factor for THA, but less than one-fifth of the hips had undergone THA up to the age of 50 years.

Summary: Patients with a history of septic arthritis who underwent THA had a ten-fold increased risk of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) compared with those who underwent THA for osteoarthritis (OA). The risk of any infection decreased significantly with a longer time interval between the diagnosis of septic arthritis and THA.

Summary: This case presents the treatment of a school-aged patient with congenital femoral and fibular shortening and foot anomaly through limb lengthening surgery. By performing the lengthening procedure on both the femur and tibia in a single session using a double-Ilizarov frame, satisfactory functional and cosmetic outcomes were achieved.

Summary: Both the novel piston technique and Ilizarov technique can achieve satisfactory bone healing for lower limb bone defects following infection. The novel piston technique demonstrated better functional outcomes, lower external fixator index (EFI), and enabled early removal of external fixation compared to the Ilizarov technique.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the length of stay and hospital readmission rates after lower limb lengthening procedures. The study found that adult patients, government insurance patients, and those undergoing hybrid or external fixator procedures had higher rates of hospital readmission.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the effect of limb lengthening on hip range of motion (ROM) after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The results showed that a larger amount of limb lengthening was associated with a smaller postoperative hip flexion ROM, and male sex was another predictor of a smaller postoperative hip flexion ROM.

Summary: In this study, 3D CT reconstructions were used to analyze acetabular changes in patients with spastic hip disease. The results showed that these patients had significantly altered acetabular orientation, volume, and surface area compared to typically developing individuals. Factors like Reimer's migration index were found to have an influence on acetabular orientation, volume, and surface area. These findings suggest the importance of considering these changes in planning hip correction surgery.
