Abstract
Introduction Hand surgery has its own history in each country which is done by outstanding doctors and scientists. Аcademician G.A. Ilizarov, the founder of transosseous osteosynthesis, is one of such personalities. Purpose of the work To analyze the stages of development and application of transosseous osteosynthesis in hand surgery, proposed by Academician G.A. Ilizarov. Methods The process of creation and development of transosseous osteosynthesis for short tubular bones was analyzed. We present the main designs and developers of the inventions related to extrafocal osteosynthesis of hand bones. The structural divisions of the Ilizarov Center, in which medical care was provided to the patients with hand pathology, were stated. Results The entire existence and active use of the Ilizarov mini-fixator can be represented by five periods, starting from the period of comprehending the need for its design. Currently, we are in the period of its combined use in conjunction with the reconstruction of hand soft tissues. Conclusion The names of scientists who have made a significant contribution to the development of the Ilizarov method of transosseous osteosynthesis for the hand surgery were given in the final summary. Thanks to the results of their work, we have the opportunity to further develop hand surgery in accordance with the contemporary scientific requirements
Highlights
Hand surgery has its own history in each country which is done by outstanding doctors and scientists
In 1944, he published a book "Surgery of the Hand" that was an authoritative publication for almost 30 years
The surgeons who ran those centers became the founders of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand [1]
Summary
Hand surgery has its own history in each country which is done by outstanding doctors and scientists. Purpose of the work To analyze the stages of development and application of transosseous osteosynthesis in hand surgery, proposed by Academician G.A. Ilizarov. Hand surgery as a specialty grew out of the experience of treating upper limb injuries during World War II. He organized and managed nine hand surgery centers. The surgeons who ran those centers became the founders of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand [1]. Based on the experience of American colleagues, the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (IFSSH) was established in Europe in 1966. This organization was renamed into the Federation of European Societies for Surgery of the Hand (FESSH)
