Investigating the biomechanical function of the plate-type external fixator in the treatment of tibial fractures: a biomechanical study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background The design of an external fixator with the optimal biomechanical function and the lowest profile has been highly pursued, as fracture healing is dependent on the stability and durability of fixation, and a low profile is more desired by ...

External fixation in tumour pathology [PDF]

International Orthopaedics, 1998
An appraisal of the clinical records of patients with malignant bone tumours enabled us to identify 61 whom we have treated by external fixation. There were 38 males and 23 females with ages ranging from 4 to 58 years, the mean being 14 years. The average period of follow-up was 6 years (1-12 years).

Reduction and fixation of comminuted fractures of the midface by using a Hoffman-type external fixator: A case report

JPRAS Open, 2022
Internal fixation using plates remains the gold standard for facial fracture fixation. External wound fixators are rarely used. In the present study, we successfully treated multiple comminuted facial fractures with midfacial depressions by using a ...

The Mechanics of External Fixation [PDF]

HSS Journal®: The Musculoskeletal Journal of Hospital for Special Surgery, 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. A thorough understanding of the biomechanical principles
