Webinar #158
“Ayos na ang Buto-Buto?”
Exploring the revolutionary Ilizarov method


In the realm of modern medicine, breakthroughs have continuously reshaped the landscape of healthcare, pushing the boundaries of what was once thought impossible. One such groundbreaking innovation that has captivated the world of orthopedics is the Ilizarov method. Pioneered by the visionary Russian orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Gavriil Abramovich Ilizarov, this method has demonstrated unparalleled success in treating bone deformities and various bone-related conditions.

The Ilizarov method has emerged as a game-changer in the treatment of challenging skeletal conditions. Its beauty lies in its simplicity and profound efficacy. Through external fixation devices and gradual distraction osteogenesis, it defies conventional wisdom, providing a beacon of hope to those afflicted by debilitating bone conditions. In this webinar, real-life case studies will illuminate the diverse spectrum of bone deformities it can address, with each case a testament to the method’s ability to restore mobility and quality of life to patients whose hopes had previously dwindled.

This week on STOP COVID DEATHS, we will learn from the collective knowledge and experiences of esteemed orthopedic experts from the UP-PGH Department of Orthopedics. Our main speaker will be Dr. Cielo Balce, who is the current head of the Ilizarov Limb Fixation and Reconstructive Service while our reactor will be Dr. Juanito S. Javier, who is the former chair of the same department. The Synthesis and Closing Remarks will be delivered by Dr. Stella Marie L. Jose, who is the Head of the PGH Office of Expanded Education and Training.

Join us in this extraordinary journey into the world of the Ilizarov method. Let us stand united, armed with knowledge and determination, as we strive to create a world where bone deformities and other bone conditions are not shackles but mere stepping stones on the path to healing and recovery.

Together, we can STOP C.O.V.I.D. DEATHS!
