Orthopedic External Fixation

Why we need the Orthopedic External Fixation in orthopedics?
In trauma orthopedics, most patients sustain complex and severe traumatic injuries, and internal fixation alone often fails to meet clinical treatment requirements. With continuous updates and advances in the techniques and concepts of Medical External Fixator, this modality has seen increasingly widespread application. Satisfactory therapeutic outcomes can be achieved with external fixators for complex fractures that cannot be managed by internal fixation, such as bone defects, multiple fractures and severe open fractures.
An external fixator is an orthopaedic therapeutic device composed of transosseous pins, external connecting rods and adjustable components. Its core principle relies on rigid fixation between pins and bone, combined with mechanical adjustment of external components, to provide stable support, axial compression or traction at fracture sites. This generates a biomechanical environment conducive to bone healing and facilitates callus formation and remodelling. 

What components make up orthopaedic external fixator products?
An external fixation set consists of clamp, connection rod, and frame that are attached to the bone through the skin. This external device holds the fracture in place, keeping it properly aligned and stable while it heals. External Fixator Set are usually made of lightweight materials such as aluminum or carbon fiber and are easy to handle and can be adjusted as needed.

What are the advantages to using External Fixator Orthopedic in treatment?
Minimally invasive: Since the orthopedic external fixation is applied externally, it causes less damage to surrounding tissues compared to internal fixation methods.
Adjustability: The external fixator orthopedic can be adjusted postoperatively to accommodate changes in the patient’s condition or to correct alignment problems.
Reduced risk of infection: By keeping the surgical site accessible, healthcare providers can more effectively monitor and manage any potential infections.
Promote rehabilitation: Patients can usually start rehabilitation exercises faster with external fixation because this method allows a certain degree of mobility while maintaining stability.

What types of External Fixation Frame does we produce?
Now we produce combined frame and unilateral frame external fixation device.
