Ilizarov method combined with accordion technique for treating long bone defects in the lower limbs: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bone defects and nonunion following initial treatment remain significant clinical challenges. The Ilizarov method constitutes a fundamental approach for addressing bone defects, and its integration with adjunctive techniques, such as the accordion maneuver, antibiotic spacers, or internal fixation, has become increasingly widespread. Despite this, limited research exists on the clinical outcomes specifically related to the use of the Ilizarov method combined with the accordion technique for treating long bone defects in the lower limbs.

Objective

This study seeks to systematically review the application of the Ilizarov method in combination with the accordion technique for addressing long bone deficiencies in the lower limbs.
