External ring fixators: An overview

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2000
External 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.

External fixators in haemophilia

Haemophilia, 2004
Summary.  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 ...

External Fixation

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2015
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.

External Fixation and Arthrodesis

Orthopedics, 1984
ABSTRACT: 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 of the wrist

Injury, 1996
External fixation for fractures of the distal radius has been used for almost 80 years. The main objective is to gain reduction and maintain the reduction throughout the treatment period. Several fixator concepts are available and selection is based on the complexity of the case to be treated as well as the surgeon's experience.

External Fixation in Quadriplegia

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984
Extremity 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, 2015
Orthopaedic 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 fixation

Archives of Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgery, 1978
The conclusion from the above clinical and experimental presentation is that stabilization by using external fixation in problematic cases is the method of choice because the risk of infection is better than by using the standard methods of plating and nailing.
