The Mechanics of External Fixation [PDF]
HSS Journal, 2007 External fixation has evolved from being used primarily as a last resort fixation method to becoming a main stream technique used to treat a myriad of bone and soft tissue pathologies. Techniques in limb reconstruction continue to advance largely as a result of the use of these external devices.

External Fixator for War Purposes: The CMC Fixator [PDF]
Military Medicine, 1999 More than 75% of all injuries in modern wars are localized on the extremities, and more than one-third of these injuries are accompanied by bone fracture. Application of an external fixator is one of the basic procedures in the treatment of war fractures.
