External fixation has been a trusted method for treating fractures for over 2000 years. The primary goal is to maintain the length, alignment, and rotation of the fracture while preserving soft tissue integrity. It serves both provisional and definitive fixation purposes.
Fracture healing physiology depends on the mode of fixation and stability. With external fixation, the bone undergoes secondary enchondral bone healing. This method provides relative fracture stability, which can be adjusted by altering the fixator construct to suit specific clinical needs.
