Терминальная стадия артроза голеностопного сустава является болезненной и инвалидизирующей патологией, связанной с деформацией. Инфекция, плохое состояние кожи, хроническое курение, артропатия Шарко могут не только повлиять на выбор метода лечения, но и привести к несращению и, к сожалению, к ампутации. Артродез показан при прогрессирующем артрозе голеностопного сустава. Для формирования артродеза возможно использовать различные методы фиксации – от внутренней до внешней. Кольцевой фиксатор Илизарова является динамическим универсальным устройством фиксации. Это биомеханически стабильный и минимально инвазивный метод, который обеспечивает сращение костей и имеет преимущество в плане возможности осуществления ранней нагрузки и одновременной коррекции деформации. В работе описан опыт применения аппарата Илизарова для формирования артродеза у 5 пациентов с тяжелым артрозом голеностопного сустава и функциональный исход.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. Ретроспективное исследование проведено в 5 случаях артродеза голеностопного сустава с использованием аппарата Илизарова с июля 2021 г. по октябрь 2022 г. в отделении ортопедии Джайпурского национального университета, Индия. Средний возраст пациентов составил 52 года (диапазон от 40 до 65 лет). Среди включенных в исследование пациентов у одного был хронический остеомиелит дистального отдела большеберцовой кости и тяжелый артроз голеностопного сустава с незаживающей язвой, у двух пациентов был посттравматический артроз после перелома таранной кости и дистального отдела большеберцовой кости. Артропатия голеностопного сустава Шарко и туберкулез голеностопного сустава был выявлен у двух пациентов. Послеоперационное исчезновение боли, коррекция деформации и рентгенологическое сращение в зоне артродеза расценивались как успех.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Сращение достигнуто у всех пациентов (100%). В каждом случае инициировалась ранняя послеоперационная ходьба и полная нагрузка. Наиболее частым осложнением была инфекция спицевого хода. Укорочение за счет артродеза составило менее 2,5 см, поэтому удлинение конечности не проводилось. Срок снятия аппарата составил от 12 до 14 недель (в среднем 13 недель). Во всех случаях для оценки использовалась визуальная аналоговая шкала. Ее значения были в пределах от 2 до 3 баллов до операции и от 7 до 9 баллов после операции артродеза. Период наблюдения в среднем составил 6 месяцев и продолжается до сих пор. Шкала AOFAS использовалась для функциональной оценки.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Метод Илизарова можно рассматривать как универсальный, биомеханически стабильный, малоинвазивный вариант формирования артродеза при тяжелом артрозе голеностопного сустава, связанном с неудовлетворительным состоянием мягких тканей, посттравматическими изменениями в суставе, инфекцией, деформацией, остеопорозом, артропатией Шарко.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Introduction End-stage ankle arthritis is a very painful and disabling pathology, associated with deformity. Infection, poor skin condition, chronic smoking, Charcot arthropathy may not only affect selection of treatment method but also union, leading to unfortunate amputation. Ankle arthrodesis is indicated in advanced ankle arthritis. A variety of fixation methods are available for arthrodesis ranging from internal to external fixation. The Ilizarov ring fixator is a dynamic versatile fixation method. It is a biomechanically stable and minimally invasive method which promotes bone union and has advantage of initiating early weight-bearing and simultaneous deformity correction. We describe our experience in Ilizarov ring fixator application for ankle arthrodesis in 5 patients with severe ankle arthritis and their functional outcome.</p><p>Materials and Methods This retrospective study was conducted in 5 ankle arthrodesis cases using the Ilizarov ring fixator application from July 2021 to October 2022 in the department of orthopaedics, Jaipur national university, India. Average age of patient was 52 years (range, 40-65). Among included patients one patient had chronic osteomyelitis of the distal tibia and severe arthrosis of the ankle joint with a non-healing ulcer, two patients had post-traumatic arthrosis following talus and distal tibia plafond fracture, Charcot ankle arthropathy and tuberculosis of the ankle joint was detected in two patients respectively. Postoperative pain relief, deformity correction and radiological union at the fusion site were defined as success.</p><p>Results Fusion was achieved in all patients (100%). Early post-operative ambulation and full weight-bearing was initiated in every case. Pin-tract infection was the commonest complication. Shortening due to arthrodesis was less than 2.5 cm so limb lengthening was not done. Frame removal time was 12 to 14 weeks (average time, 13 weeks). Visual analogue scale was used in all cases. It was in the range of 2 to 3 points preoperatively and 7 to 9 post-operatively after arthrodesis. Average follow-up period was 6 months and it is still underway. AOFAS score was used for functional assessment.</p><p>Conclusion Ilizarov ring fixator application can be considered as versatile, biomechanically stable, minimally invasive method for ankle arthrodesis in severe ankle arthritis associated with poor soft tissue condition, post- traumatic arthritis, infection, deformity, bone loss, Charcot arthropathy.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>аппарат Илизарова</kwd><kwd>голеностопный сустав</kwd><kwd>артрит</kwd><kwd>артродез</kwd><kwd>артропатия Шарко</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Ilizarov ring fixator</kwd><kwd>ankle</kwd><kwd>arthritis</kwd><kwd>arthrodesis</kwd><kwd>Charcot arthropathy</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Zarutsky E, Rush SM, Schuberth JM.
