Purpose Good reduction and appropriate fixation are critical for long bone fractures,
however, neither has been addressed satisfactorily. Robotic and navigation techniques can …

Background Poor reduction can lead to complications such as deformity and delayed
fracture healing. We introduce a 3D printed external fixator technology that can assist in …

Clinical experience has indicated that many complications during treatment with the Ilizarov
method, and mainly tract infection, are related to decreased wire tension. The aim of this …

Circular external fixators are increasingly being used for complex lower limb trauma. When
these injuries are sustained to both lower limbs, the ideal management is unclear. We …

Circular frames are a successful way of treating difficult fractures and non-unions. At our
institution (CSC) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, our method differs from developed healthcare …

Tibial pilon fractures present a challenge in its treatment where they involve both soft tissue
problems and its potential in causing long term disabilities. The treatment of this injury is still …

The fracture of distal tibia bone is one of the most serious cases in the world, especially pilon
fractures type. This is due to fact that the ankle joint involve soft tissue problems (cartilage …

Clinical experience has indicated that many complications during treatment with the Ilizarov
method, and mainly tract infection, are related to decreased wire tension. The aim of this …

The mechanical behavior of the parts of the Ilizarov external bone fixator, such as the steel
rings and the kirschner wires, plays a defining factor in the overall stiffness, stability, and …
