[Indexed for MEDLINE] 16. Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 2010 Mar;92(2):101-5. doi: 10.1308/003588410X12518836439326. Ilizarov principles of deformity correction. Spiegelberg B(1), Parratt T, Dheerendra SK, Khan WS, Jennings R, Marsh DR. Author information: (1)University College London Institute of Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Sciences, Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, Middlesex, UK. 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. It is important that we have a clear and concise understanding of the Ilizarov principles of deformity correction to best make use of this fixation system. In this review article, the history of Ilizarov frame, the basic sciences behind it, the mechanical principles governing its use and the clinical use of the fixation system are discussed.
