Russian Technique in Orthopedics – Ajay Hospital Varanasi
Advanced Bone Healing for Non-Union & Complex Fractures
At Ajay Hospital, Varanasi, we provide advanced orthopedic care using the Russian Technique, also known as the Ilizarov Technique, for treating complex fractures, bone deformities, and non-healing bones. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Ajay Sharma, an experienced Orthopaedic Surgeon with over 30 years of clinical experience, we help patients regain mobility and return to an active, pain-free life.
The Ilizarov Technique is a globally recognized orthopedic procedure that uses a specialized external fixation system to stimulate the body’s natural bone healing process. It is particularly effective for patients whose fractures have failed to heal, have significant bone loss, or require correction of bone deformities and limb length differences.
What is the Russian (Ilizarov) Technique?
The Russian Technique, developed by Professor Gavriil Ilizarov, is an advanced orthopedic treatment that uses a circular external fixator to stabilize bones while encouraging new bone formation. This innovative method allows surgeons to gradually correct bone deformities, lengthen limbs, treat infected fractures, and heal complex fractures that are difficult to manage with conventional surgery.
It is considered one of the most effective techniques for limb reconstruction and bone regeneration.
