First time ever ILizarov external fixator of tibia surgery was performed in case of infected Nonunion Tibia at Department of Orthopedics surgery Khairpur Medical College Hospital Khairpur on Thursday.

Dr. Naveed Ahmed Solangi, head of the Department of Orthopedics Surgery Khairpur Medical College, said that with the Ilizarov device the fracture site is distracted and through ligamentotaxis the smaller bone fragments can be reduced and remain stable.

He said that the Ilizarov external fixator is a useful alternative for the treatment of proximal tibia fractures.
