External Fixation

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1982
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.

External Fixation as a Secondary Procedure

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1982
Twenty-two patients were treated by external skeletal fixation as a secondary procedure after failure of primary management with other modes of treatment. Fourteen of these cases were infected at presentation. The average duration from the time of injury to the application of external fixation was 17 months.

External Fixation of Tibial Fractures

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2015
External fixation for definitive or initial management of tibial fractures has a long history, with pin-to-bar external fixation being the standard of care for definitive management of tibial fractures. However, the use of this method lessened because of the increased popularity of intramedullary nailing and drawbacks associated with external fixation.

A simple external fixator

Nigerian Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2004
An external fixator is very useful in the management of open fractures. A typical external fixator has provision only for a specific diameter of pins. This is a description of a simple external fixator which can accommodate any diameter of pins. KEY WORDS: External fixator, any diameter, pins Nigerian Journal of Orthopaedics and Trauma Vol.3(1) 2004 ...

External fixation.

Nursing standard (Royal College of Nursing (Great Britain) : 1987), 2009
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.

Biomechanics of the Ilizarov External Fixator

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1992
The Ilizarov external fixator exhibits more isotropic mechanical properties in bending and nonlinear axial stiffness than do unilateral and bilateral external fixators. Each frame element--wire size, tension, and orientation, as well as ring type--contributes to overall frame rigidity and stability.

Treatment with External Fixation [PDF]

, 2002
External fixation was initially used as a first aid treatment, often temporary, for fractures which were severely open or associated with polytrauma [1], More recently it has been used by some authors as the method of choice in complex fractures of the tibial pilon, and the technique has been steadily gaining in popularity [2–5].

Internal Contradictions of External Fixation. Combined External Fixation

2012
The assembly of an external fixation apparatus must fully accord with the most recent developments in transosseous osteosynthesis. The experimental/theoretical and clinical knowledge base is currently such that the rigidity of bone fragment fixation in relation to the diameter of the transosseous elements used, their type and crossing angle, the ...

Primary External Fixation

2011
Early restoration of skeletal stability is a basic principle of primary orthopedic fracture care. Advantages to using external fixation are preventing future injury to the traumatized soft-tissue envelope, minimal invasive surgical technique, reducing infection risk, minimizing fracture hemorrhage, providing pain control, and facilitating medical ...
