Abstract
The data of
patients with complex deformities of lower limbs treated by Qin Sihe technique
combined with Ilizarov technique from 2015 to 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.
There were 6 cases (4 males and 2 females), aged 5-28 years, 4 on the right, 2
on the left, 2 cases in congenital tibial hemimelia, 1 case in congenital
fibular hemimelia, and 1case in multiple chondroma; 1 case of sequelae of knee
epiphysis injury and 1 case of knee deformity secondary to knee infection. Qin Sihe
technique (one-stage osteotomy, tendon release and overall correction) combined
with Ilizarov technique was used for limb reconstruction. One case underwent
surgery 4 times, one case 3 times, one case 2 times and 3 cases 1 time
respectively. All patients were followed up for an average of 8 years. Their
deformity was well corrected, the length discrepancy of lower limbs was recovered,
and the walking function was significantly improved without serious
complications. Conclusion: Qin Sihe technique combined with Ilizarov technique
can effectively preserve and reconstruct the anatomy and function of complex
lower limb deformities and disabilities, operation simple and medical cost low,
and is suitable for application and promotion in developing countries.
