Kirmisson-Lorenz-Bayer Operation

Kirmisson-Lorens-Bayer surgery (CLBO) is a surgical procedure that is used to treat foot and ankle deformities. It was developed in the 19th century by three surgeons - E. Kirmisson, A. Lorenz and S. Baer.

KLBO includes several stages. First, the surgeon makes an incision in the foot and ankle to gain access to the deformed bones and ligaments. He then removes any excess tissue that is interfering with the proper functioning of the foot.

After this, the surgeon performs an osteotomy - an operation to change the shape of the bone. He makes a small cut in the bone and moves it to correct the deformity. He then fixes the bone using special metal plates and screws.

Finally, the surgeon closes the wound and stitches it up. After surgery, the patient must wear special shoes to prevent re-deformation of the foot.

The operation is one of the late methods of treating open distal epiphysis-lateral epiphysis. A characteristic feature of this operation is the relative simplicity of its implementation, which is not associated with a large number of complications. Also considered one of the methods of choice in the treatment of avascular necrosis
