As a newly qualified staff nurse working on a trauma ward, I see patients with a variety of fractures. It is often difficult to distinguish between the different types of fractures and the methods of fixation.

Biomechanics of the Ilizarov External Fixator
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1992The Ilizarov external fixator exhibits more isotropic mechanical properties in bending and nonlinear axial stiffness than do unilateral and bilateral external fixators. Each frame element--wire size, tension, and orientation, as well as ring type--contributes to overall frame rigidity and stability.

Treatment with External Fixation [PDF]
, 2002 External fixation was initially used as a first aid treatment, often temporary, for fractures which were severely open or associated with polytrauma [1], More recently it has been used by some authors as the method of choice in complex fractures of the tibial pilon, and the technique has been steadily gaining in popularity [2–5].

Internal Contradictions of External Fixation. Combined External Fixation
2012The assembly of an external fixation apparatus must fully accord with the most recent developments in transosseous osteosynthesis. The experimental/theoretical and clinical knowledge base is currently such that the rigidity of bone fragment fixation in relation to the diameter of the transosseous elements used, their type and crossing angle, the ...

Early restoration of skeletal stability is a basic principle of primary orthopedic fracture care. Advantages to using external fixation are preventing future injury to the traumatized soft-tissue envelope, minimal invasive surgical technique, reducing infection risk, minimizing fracture hemorrhage, providing pain control, and facilitating medical ...

Shortcomings of External Fixation
1982Applications and indications of external fixation have been considerably extended and modified in recent years, and new fixation frames have been designed, produced, and used. Certain shortcomings of external fixation in the treatment of fractures have been recognized.

Complications of External Fixation
2011External fixation has assumed an important role in damage control orthopedics. Common indications include open fractures, bridging juxta-articular fractures or dislocations, and pelvic external fixation. Complications may ensue from external fixation as with other surgical treatment.
