External Fixator
Near-immediate weight bearing is possible with a circular fixator, offering accelerated rates of fracture healing and increased bone strength1. With circular fixation you and your patients often feel comfortable enough to weight bear well before your internal fixation patients weight bear2.
Fine, ongoing corrections to the reduction are possible while wearing the fixator. Soft tissue can be treated, reduction tweaked, compression increased, distraction accomplished – whatever you deem best for the patient and the treatment of their entire injury. Infinite adjustment of the reduction is possible without ever heading back to the OR.
