Background High energy open tibial fractures are complex injuries with no consensus on the
optimal method of fixation. Treatment outcomes are often reported with union and re …

Background The hexapod external fixator (HEF) is increasingly used for high-energy tibial
shaft fracture care as more general orthopedic surgeons are gaining expertise of this …

Background Multiplanar external fixation systems that employ software-assisted deformity
correction consist of rings connected by angled struts, defined as hexapod ring fixators …

Background External fixation, which can preserve the biomechanical microenvironment of
fracture healing, plays an important role in managing the high-energy fractures with poor …

Backgroud When the reduction of long bone shaft fracture fragments is performed by a
hexapod external fixator, the collision and interference between bony ends often results in …

Aim and objective The purpose of this study was to explore the capability and Intrarater
reliability of thermography in detecting pin site infection. Materials and methods This is an …

Background It is challenging to determine the orthogonality of radiographs in daily clinical
practice. The purpose of this study was to show the usefulness of an additional foot ring …

Background Patients with severe bone fractures and complex bone deformities are treated
by orthopedic surgeons with external fixation for several months. During this long treatment …

Background The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in clinical outcomes,
if any, between intraoperative acute correction and postoperative gradual correction for tibial …

Background: External fixation has become an effective technique for treating the high-
energy tibial shaft fractures (HETSFs), which is usually accompanied by significant …
