Correction (improvement) of the legs form
is done via simultaneous surgery on both lower extremities.
External fixation devices are applied to both shins under
the general anesthesia. Average duration of the operation is 50 minutes.
Using the crutches the patient is able to walk on the
following day after the operation.
Legs form correction procedure is usually initiated on the
5th day after the operation by means of dosaged adjusment
of nuts in the apparatus of external fixation.
Depending on the initial size of deformation,
legs shape correction is performed within the period of
5-20 days (9-12days on average).
Consolidation stage with use of the aparatus lasts three weeks.
Devices are removed from the extremeties
consecutively with an interval of 3-5 days.
Thus, correction of legs shape usually takes 1,5months.
The Center has created an automized computer system which allows to make a computer design of the planned correction (where prior to surgery, selection of the best planned result is performed in cooperation with the patient), to determine best fit apparatus characteristics and to objectively control the whole process of legs form correction.
