Report About the Design of External Fixator for Treatment of Pelvis and Acetabulum Fractures [PDF]
Transactions of the VŠB-Technical University of Ostrava, Mechanical Series, 2012 Main point in this contribution is the design of external fixators applied in traumatology and orthopaedics. These fixators can be used in the treatment of open and unstable (i.e. complicated) fractures of pelvis and its acetabulum.

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
