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 ...

Treatment of unstable distal radius fractures: non-invasive dynamic external fixator versus volar locking plate – functional and radiological outcome in a prospective case-controlled series

SICOT-J, 2015
Introduction: Distal radius fracture (DRF) is a common injury and various treatment modalities including open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with volar locking plate are available. More recently, a non-invasive external fixator has been used.

Risk of Fracture at External Fixator Pin Hole After Lateral Tibial Plateau Fracture Plating [PDF]

JBJS Open Access
Background:. External fixation of tibial plateau fractures commonly provides temporary stabilization before definitive fixation with plate and screws. The purpose of this study was to determine if an external fixator pin hole distal to a tibial plate in ...

The mechanical test as a supplemental decision support tool for the safe removal of an Ilizarov circular external fixator [PDF]

European Journal of Medical Research
Background Timing the fixator removal is vital for a successful external fixation treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of axial load–share ratio in vivo as a supplemental decision support tool for the safe removal of an

Short-term outcome of fragility fractures of the pelvis in the elderly treated with screw osteosynthesis and external fixator

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2021
Background The treatment of fragility fractures of the pelvis is rising challenge for orthopedic trauma surgeons. Operative treatment should allow immediate full weight bearing and early mobilisation but should also be as minimal invasive as possible ...

Bony callus stiffness indirectly evaluated by the axial load-share ratio in vivo as a guide to removing a monolateral external fixator safely

International Orthopaedics, 2021
As the monolateral external fixator is increasingly used in trauma-control and definitive management for high-energy long bone fractures, timing the fixator removal remains a challenge for surgeons.
