The time an external fixator remains in place is standardized for elective orthopedic procedures, e.g.: Intertrochanteric osteotomies in children: 4 1/2 weeks, followed by hip spica for 4 l/2 weeks. Arthrodeses of the knee joint: 4 1/2 weeks, followed by knee cast for 4 1/2 weeks. Arthrodeses of the ankle joint: 4 1/2 weeks, followed by

European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2013
The authors will highlight the advantages of external fixation in the treatment of open fractures of the leg.The first is stabilisation of the fracture site. It is obtained by using transfixion pins in multiple planes (the ideal being 2 planes between 60 and 90°). With flexible pins, stability is obtained by using multiple pins and fixing them to rings
