| This patient came to us with an old break of the tibia, which had healed in an angulated position. Radiograph obtained before correction shows both angular and translational deformities. |
After correction with an Ilizarov device, alignment was restored. |

| ICLL surgeons have pioneered analysis of complex deformities. The above graphics show a complex angulation-translation deformity, before and after correction. |

Treatment with the Taylor spatial frame applied to a deformed bone, before and after correction (above).
This frame permits simultaneous correction of complex deformities with less need to make frame adjustments in the clinic. (courtesy of J. Charles Taylor). |
