LCP external fixation - External application of an internal fixator: two cases and a review of the literature

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2010
The locking compression plate (LCP) is an angle-stable fixator intended for intracorporeal application. In selected cases, it can be applied externally in an extracorporeal location to function as a monolateral external fixator.

Antibiotic-impregnated cement-coated intramedullary nail in primary fixation of compound fractures of tibial shaft – A comparative study with external fixator in terms of infection control

Journal of Orthopaedic Diseases and Traumatology, 2023
Introduction: Compound tibial shaft fractures are conventionally managed by debridement and primary stabilization by external fixators, followed by definitive fixation after the wound healing; however, many problems such as infection, difficult soft ...
