Abstract
BACKGROUND
Postoperative complications of triceps surae intramuscular hemangioma surgery with talipes equinovarus have rarely been described, and the evidence for treatment is limited. The purpose of this case study was to report the new application of the Ilizarov technique, which successfully treated talipes equinovarus in adults after triceps surae intramuscular hemangioma.
CASE SUMMARY
A 29-year-old woman treated with the Ilizarov technique for talipes equinovarus in the right leg after triceps surae intramuscular hemangioma surgery. The equinus deformity was roughly corrected after 2 years of follow-up, without significant secondary sequelae.
CONCLUSION
Talipes equinovarus caused by postoperative sequelae of intramuscular hemangioma was successfully corrected by the Ilizarov technique. The Ilizarov technique may be used for treating talipes equinovarus caused by various causes.
Core Tip: The purpose of this case study was to report the new application of the Ilizarov technique, which successfully treated talipes equinovarus in adults after triceps surae intramuscular hemangioma. The Ilizarov technique may be a surgical method for treating postoperative deformity of limbs, even in adult patients. Physicians should be aware of new uses for this type of treatment.
