[Experiences in using compression-distraction devices for the treatment of foot deformities].
The constructive features of the Ilizarov apparatus with some additional details enabled the authors to use perosseous distractional osteosynthesis for the treatment of different foot deformities in 52 patients (61 feet) in the clinic following the developed techniques. Other conditions being equal, the method of distraction makes it possible to iliminate the foot deformity and at the same time to make it longer which can not be achieved by other methods.
