This site aims to educate the general visitor to this site as well as Orthopaedic Surgeons and Orthopaedic Trainees regarding some of the interesting developments in the field of reconstructive limb orthopaedic surgery, especially pertaining to Limb Lengthening & Deformity Correction.
Many of the developments are highly esoteric and serve a niche area of Orthopaedic Surgery. There are at least 16 sub-speciality Chapters of the Indian Orthopaedic Association and the Association for Study & Application of the Methods of Ilizarov { ASAMI INDIA} is just one such.
The webmaster happens to be the President of this organization of 400+ Orthopaedic Surgeons. It is difficult for the General Orthopaedic Surgeon as well as a trainee to be aware of all developents in this specialized field.
The site hopes to illustrate some of the reliable techniques that can be used in various clinical conditions. Some elements and nuances of these techniques have been developed at the Institution; but a vast majority are standard techniques developed primarily in Prof. Ilizarov’s institute in Kurgan, Russia as well as centres in USA and elsewhere.
The mission of our website is to Complement the patient – physician relationship that visitors may have and not replace it.
