The Mechanics of External Fixation [PDF]
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 novel fixation method for panfacial fracture using an Ilizarov-type external fixator
In general, internal plate fixation is mainly performed in order to reduce multiple facial bone fractures and rarely uses an external fixator. Although it would be ideal to successfully achieve or preserve the occlusal relationship of the upper and lower

External Fixator for War Purposes: The CMC Fixator [PDF]
More than 75% of all injuries in modern wars are localized on the extremities, and more than one-third of these injuries are accompanied by bone fracture. Application of an external fixator is one of the basic procedures in the treatment of war fractures.
