The modularity and ease of application of modern external fixation has expanded its potential use in the management of fractures and other musculoskeletal conditions. In fracture care, it can be used for provisional and definitive fixation. Short-term provisional applications include "damage control" and periarticular fracture fixation.

The conclusion from the above clinical and experimental presentation is that stabilization by using external fixation in problematic cases is the method of choice because the risk of infection is better than by using the standard methods of plating and nailing.

As a newly qualified staff nurse working on a trauma ward, I see patients with a variety of fractures. It is often difficult to distinguish between the different types of fractures and the methods of fixation.

External fixation of the mandible is required in complex fractures or to stabilize the mandibular segments during reconstruction. The method supplements interosseous wiring and intermaxillary fixation techniques.

Biocompression External Fixation Sliding External Osteosynthesis
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986Biocompression is a term applied to the stresses that have their origin in the elastic deformation of a diaphyseal bone, under the loads of functional activities. Its significance is the osteogenic response that biocompression stress induces in the cells of the healthy bone.

External Fixation and Arthrodesis
Orthopedics, 1984ABSTRACT: Arthrodesis of joint is widely employed in case of infected nonunion especially after failed total knee replacement. Instead of the conventional methods of immobilization including plaster cast or internal fixation we think that the use of the external fixation is highly satisfactory, providing an excellent method of immobilization and ...

External Fixation Shoulder Arthrodesis
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1986Shoulder arthrodesis, while providing a useful and predictable solution to many problems associated with glenohumeral degeneration, has been less than desirable for many patients due to the frequent need for postoperative spica cast or airplane splint immobilization.

External Fixation in Quadriplegia
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984Extremity fractures frequently occur at the time of spinal cord injury. Fractures immobilized by external fixation devices interfere with patient positioning and predispose to trophic ulcers. The devices also interfere with joint motion. Incorrect application may delay rather than promote fracture union.

The integrity of the bone-pin interface is the critical link in the stability of external fixation systems. External fixation pins placed in cancellous metaphyseal bone frequently loosen over time, resulting in fixation failure and an increased risk of infection.
