External Fixation of Wrist Fractures
Orthopedics, 1984ABSTRACT: One hundred and twenty-six wrist fractures treated by external fixation were reviewed, with an average followup of six months (range: one to 48 months). Most of the fractures were unstable. A radius-second metacarpal standard half-frame was used in 93.6%.

The external fixator has been in use for more than a century. Wutzer (1789-1863) used pins and an interconnecting rod-and-clamp system. Parkhill (1897) and Lambotte (1900) used devices that were unilateral with four pins and a bar-clamp system. By 1960, Vidal and Hoffmann had popularized the use of an external fixator to treat open fractures and ...

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2003Even though external fixation is considered to be a rather "new" trend in orthopedics and traumatology, in fact it has been something used by physicians and surgeons for thousands of years. In the mid 1800's, external fixation would see some substantial growth and evolution, pioneered by physicians and surgeons whose principles are still in use today ...

Instrumentation for External Fixation
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1992External skeletal fixation is a very useful technique for managing many orthopedic problems in veterinary practice. The Kirschner apparatus has been the most widely used fixator for many years in veterinary orthopedics because of its versatility, simplicity, and economy in use.

Complications of External Fixation
1982In 1950, the American orthopedic community was surveyed to determine the rightful place of external skeletal fixation in the armamentarium of fracture management (Johnson and Stovall, 1950). The majority of surgeons queried had tried and discarded external skeletal fixation because of concern for the complications associated with external fixators ...

External fixation is a method of immobilization that uses percutaneous pins placed in bone and linked with external connectors. The concept of external fixation appears in works of Malgaigne from the mid-19th century. Since Malgaigne's invention many other external fixation systems have been introduced, and external fixation is currently a standard ...

Duration of External Fixation, and Removal of the External Fixator
1985The 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
