The Mechanics of External Fixation [PDF]

open access: yesHSS 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 novel fixation method for panfacial fracture using an Ilizarov-type external fixator

open access: yesTrauma Case Reports, 2019
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
