  • Title: Techniques for the management of burn contractures with the Ilizarov Fixator.
    Author: Calhoun JH, Evans EB, Herndon DN.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1992 Jul; (280):117-24. PubMed ID: 1611731.
    Abstract:
    The Ilizarov fixator was used to correct chronic burn deformities of the foot and ankle. These contractures can be classified as "simple" or "complex" based on associated deformities and musculoskeletal function. The simple, undirectional deformities of equinus, cavus, rockerbottom, and toe dislocations are fairly easy to correct and maintain. Correction and maintenance of complex deformities with varus or valgus angulation, bone abnormality, or muscle loss are more difficult.
