External Fixation and Arthrodesis
Orthopedics, 1984ABSTRACT: Arthrodesis of joint is widely employed in case of infected nonunion especially after failed total knee replacement. Instead of the conventional methods of immobilization including plaster cast or internal fixation we think that the use of the external fixation is highly satisfactory, providing an excellent method of immobilization and ...

External Fixation in Quadriplegia
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984Extremity fractures frequently occur at the time of spinal cord injury. Fractures immobilized by external fixation devices interfere with patient positioning and predispose to trophic ulcers. The devices also interfere with joint motion. Incorrect application may delay rather than promote fracture union.

External fixation in the elderly
Injury, 2015Orthopaedic trauma is an increasingly common problem in geriatric patients. As demands of daily life and recreational activities are increasing in these patients, surgeons need to be able to manage geriatric fractures to achieve good functional results.

External fixators in haemophilia
Haemophilia, 2004Summary. External fixators (EF) are not commonly used for patients with haemophilia. We describe the use of EF (Ilizarov, AO‐ uni‐ and bi‐planar fixators and Charnley clamp) in nine patients (mean age: 19.2 years; range: 9–37) with haemophilia for the following indications – arthrodesis of infected joints, treatment of open fractures and osteoclasis ...

Linear external skeletal fixators offer some unique advantages over other fixation systems; they are biomechanically versatile, minimize surgical trauma to the fracture environment, and allow for simple staged disassembly to help promote bone healing.

External fixation in pelvic fractures [PDF]
MUSCULOSKELETAL SURGERY, 2010 Pelvic fractures account for 4-5% of all fracturated patients, and they occur in 4-5% of polytraumatized patients. In the most of the cases, they are consequent to high-energy trauma with a high percentage of lesions of other organs (cerebral, thoracic, and abdominal lesions. The most of the patients (80%) who die are dying within the first hours after

External ring fixators: An overview
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2000External fixation is widely used in the fixation of fractures and limb deformities. The mechanical characteristics of a specific external fixator are major factors in determining the biomechanical environment at a fracture/osteotomy site and, hence, affect the healing process. Although the optimal biomechanical environment for healing of a fracture or

Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, 2003 Since its modest beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century, external fixation has seen great changes in its design and application. Once thought of as chiefly a fracture management tool, this modality has found its way into the arenas of corrective osteotomies, Charcot management, limb lengthening, nonunion treatment, and malalignment correction.

The modularity and ease of application of modern external fixation has expanded its potential use in the management of fractures and other musculoskeletal conditions. In fracture care, it can be used for provisional and definitive fixation. Short-term provisional applications include "damage control" and periarticular fracture fixation.

The history of external fixation
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 ...
