The Ilizarov technique in correction of complex foot deformities.
The Ilizarov technique allows new histogenesis of soft tissue as well as bone. This process, extended to the foot, has allowed correction of complex three-dimensional deformities. The method is described and demonstrated to illustrate the action and limitations as well as the complications of the method.
