External fixation needle is a medical device used in orthopedic surgery to stabilize and support fractured bones or joints from outside the body. This technique is particularly beneficial when internal fixation methods such as steel plates or screws are not suitable due to the nature of the injury or the patient's condition.
External fixation involves the use of needles inserted through the skin into the bone and connected to a rigid external frame. This framework fixes the pins in place to stabilize the fracture area while minimizing movement. The main advantage of using external fixation needles is that they provide a stable environment for healing without the need for extensive surgical intervention.
One of the main advantages of external fixation needles is that they can more easily enter the site of injury for monitoring and treatment. In addition, it can be adjusted as the healing process progresses, providing flexibility for injury management.
