The Ilizarov technique, named after the Russian orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gavriil Ilizarov, is a revolutionary method used in orthopedic surgery for limb lengthening, deformity correction, and bone reconstruction. This technique involves the use of an external fixator device, which consists of metal rings, wires, and pins that are attached to the patient’s bone to gradually lengthen or realign it over time.
Dr. Suhail Majid is renowned for his expertise in the Ilizarov technique, particularly in the field of limb reconstruction and deformity correction. With extensive training and experience in orthopedic surgery, Dr. Majid has successfully performed numerous Ilizarov procedures, helping patients with various orthopedic conditions regain mobility, function, and quality of life.
Dr. Majid’s expertise in the Ilizarov technique encompasses:
- Limb Lengthening: Using the Ilizarov method, Dr. Majid can lengthen bones that are shorter than normal due to congenital conditions, growth disorders, or trauma. This procedure involves gradually stretching the bone using the external fixator device to stimulate new bone formation and achieve the desired length.
- Deformity Correction: Dr. Majid is skilled in correcting various bone deformities, such as bowlegs (genu varum), knock knees (genu valgum), and angular deformities, using the Ilizarov technique. By carefully manipulating the bone alignment and tensioning the external fixator, he can restore proper bone alignment and function.
- Bone Reconstruction: In cases of bone loss or non-union fractures, Dr. Majid utilizes the Ilizarov method to reconstruct bone defects and promote bone healing. The external fixator device provides stability and support to the bone, allowing for gradual bone regeneration and consolidation.
- Complex Orthopedic Conditions: Dr. Majid’s expertise extends to treating complex orthopedic conditions, including limb discrepancies, limb deformities, and post-traumatic injuries, using the Ilizarov technique. His meticulous surgical approach and personalized treatment plans ensure optimal outcomes for his patients.
- Comprehensive Care: Beyond surgical expertise, Dr. Majid provides comprehensive care to his patients, including pre-operative evaluation, post-operative management, and rehabilitation support. He works closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver holistic care and achieve the best possible results.
Through his dedication, skill, and commitment to excellence, Dr. Suhail Majid has established himself as a leading authority in the Ilizarov technique, transforming the lives of patients with complex orthopedic conditions and helping them overcome physical challenges with confidence and resilience.
