Ilizarov & External Fixator Wearer's Support Group
Web: www.ilizarov.org.uk
The Ilizarov & External Fixator Wearer's Support Group offers mainly web-based support. The aim of the website is to help answer any questions concerning the Ilizarov fixator and it is directed towards the following groups.
- People who are presently undergoing orthopaedic correction by Ilizarov fixator.
- People who are expecting orthopaedic surgery and the fitting of an Ilizarov fixator as part of this.
- People who may have an orthopaedic condition and who have never heard of the Ilizarov fixator and may like to discuss this with their consultant.
Visitors to the site should note the following: although primarily dealing with the Ilizarov fixator (through personal experience), the monolateral and other external fixators are also covered. The techniques that apply to living with the Ilizarov frame readily adapt to living with most external fixator systems.
