This book is the first comprehensive text on the Ilizarov method to come from Russia since Professor Ilizarov passed away in 1992. This text covers both acute traumatic reconstruction with the Ilizarov method as well as orthopaedic reconstruction with the Ilizarov techniques. The author’s unique method of cross-sectional anatomy evaluation improves the safety of pin and wire insertion. This book will serve as a new foundation for the next generation of orthopaedic surgeons interested in limb reconstruction with circular external fixation. Dror Paley, MD, FRCSC In this manual you can find not only an analysis of the basis of external fixation, but also the author’s original approach in this field. Certainly, no book can include all possible clinical situations in orthopaedic practice. Nevertheless, this manual is different from others in being easy to read. Consequently the execution of each method of external fixation can be readily grasped. Furthermore, the perfectly prepared illustrations will be of significant benefit to the orthopaedic surgeon. Prof. Vladimir I. Shevtsov I am pleased to present this book to experts on external fixation and to those who are taking only their first steps in this field. I regret that "the method for the unified designation of external fixation" is only now becoming the standard language of orthopaedic surgeons. If it had been developed and introduced earlier, it would have been possible to avoid many of the criticisms (sometimes justified) of the training in the method resulting from "individual" perceptions of the information in articles, instructional lectures, and manuals. The clever design, the high-quality illustrations, the wide range of pathological conditions considered for application of external fixation, and the style of presentation of the material are great advantages of this manual. I am sure that it will prove to be of great interest to orthopaedic surgeons in many different countries. Prof. Viktor K. Kalnberz.

When it was developed, the Ilizarov device represented a revolutionary advance that made it possible to correct previously untreatable conditions through the stimulation of bone growth based on the principle of distraction osteogenesis. The device subsequently gained popularity among surgeons throughout the world since it can be used for the treatment of fractures that have failed to heal satisfactorily and for deformity correction. The technique is, however, complex and requires specialist knowledge if it is to be applied optimally.This is the second edition of a well-received book that focuses primarily on external fixation using the Ilizarov device but also considers other devices employed for the purpose. The opening chapters include discussion of biomechanical principles, use of a system of coordinates to allow safer insertion of K-wires and half pins, preoperative preparation, and principles of frame construction. External fixation of a variety of fractures in different pathologic settings is then clearly explained in a series of detailed chapters with the aid of high-quality illustrations. Numerous case reports are included to illustrate the results of different treatment methods. In addition, principles of postoperative management are described and advice is provided on correction of errors and treatment of complications. Since the first edition the text has been thoroughly updated, with inclusion of contributions from leading world experts. This volume will serve as an indispensable manual both for trainee orthopedic surgeons embarking on a steep learning curve and for more experienced surgeons requiring advice and guidance in demanding cases.
