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.

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.

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 of the wrist
Injury, 1996External fixation for fractures of the distal radius has been used for almost 80 years. The main objective is to gain reduction and maintain the reduction throughout the treatment period. Several fixator concepts are available and selection is based on the complexity of the case to be treated as well as the surgeon's experience.

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.

External fixation in the elderly
Injury, 2015Orthopaedic trauma is an increasingly common problem in geriatric patients. As demands of daily life and recreational activities are increasing in these patients, surgeons need to be able to manage geriatric fractures to achieve good functional results.

External fixators in haemophilia
Haemophilia, 2004Summary. External fixators (EF) are not commonly used for patients with haemophilia. We describe the use of EF (Ilizarov, AO‐ uni‐ and bi‐planar fixators and Charnley clamp) in nine patients (mean age: 19.2 years; range: 9–37) with haemophilia for the following indications – arthrodesis of infected joints, treatment of open fractures and osteoclasis ...

External Fixation of Wrist Fractures
Orthopedics, 1984ABSTRACT: One hundred and twenty-six wrist fractures treated by external fixation were reviewed, with an average followup of six months (range: one to 48 months). Most of the fractures were unstable. A radius-second metacarpal standard half-frame was used in 93.6%.

External ring fixators: An overview
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2000External fixation is widely used in the fixation of fractures and limb deformities. The mechanical characteristics of a specific external fixator are major factors in determining the biomechanical environment at a fracture/osteotomy site and, hence, affect the healing process.

The external fixator has been in use for more than a century. Wutzer (1789-1863) used pins and an interconnecting rod-and-clamp system. Parkhill (1897) and Lambotte (1900) used devices that were unilateral with four pins and a bar-clamp system. By 1960, Vidal and Hoffmann had popularized the use of an external fixator to treat open fractures and ...
