Assessment of the distribution of load on the lower limbs and balance before and after ankle arthrodesis with the Ilizarov method
Ankle arthrodesis with the Ilizarov method is an accepted form of treatment of advanced degenerative changes of the ankle joint. Incorrect balance and load distribution on the lower limbs may result in pain and dysfunction. The aim of the study was to assess the change of balance and load distribution in lower extremities in patients before and after ankle arthrodesis with the Ilizarov method. Between 2013 and 2016, ankle arthrodesis using the Ilizarov method was performed on 21 patients. The evaluation of balance and percentage of load in each lower limb was performed before the surgery and during the follow-ups. The evaluation was performed using a Zebris pedobarographic platform. Before the surgery, the patients exhibited an average load of 41.9% of body weight in the affected limb, whereas the load in the healthy limb was 58.1%. The difference was statistically significant (p = 0,000031). In two years follow-up, the average load in the treated limbs was 48.19%, whereas the healthy limbs were subjected to an average load of 51.81%. In preoperative tests, the average path length of the center of gravity was 161.55 cm; postoperatively, the average path length of the center of gravity was 129.7 cm (p = 0.00003206). Preoperatively, the average area of the center of gravity was 18.85 cm2; it decreased to 6.19 cm2 (p = 0.000032) postoperatively. Arthrodesis of the ankle with the Ilizarov method improved the statics of the musculoskeletal system by improving the distribution of loads in the lower limbs as well as balance. However, it failed to restore the parameters of a healthy person. Advanced degenerative changes of the ankle disturb the biomechanics of the entire lower limb.
