The Ilizarov technique has been used in the treatment of complex resistant clubfoot deformities. The Ilizarov technique involves placing tension wires through the bony structures of the clubfoot to realign the joint surfaces and foot anatomy. The Ilizarov external fixator also called the Ilizarov Aparatus is a very powerful tool that may also be used to stabilize fractures, regrow lost bone or correct deformities in the length rotation or angles of bones.  More info can be found here - http://www.clubfootclub.org/Ilizarov-technique-a-100.html
