The autors report their experience in the treatment of the "critical ischemia" in 8 patients with arterial occlusion of the lower limbs in endarteritis obliterans. All patients were treated by thickening of the tibia using the Ilizarov apparatus for distraction osteosynthesis. In all cases the operative treatment ensured lowering of the amputation level, forming of the functional stump and long-lasting remission of the illness.
