External Fixation In Orthopedic | Traumatology

External fixation (EF) is a minimally invasive method where pins or wires are inserted into the bone through the skin and connected to an external frame. It is primarily used in:

Rapidly stabilizing multiple fractures in "polytrauma" patients to prevent life-threatening complications while they are resuscitated.

Treating severe injuries with massive contamination or soft-tissue damage, where internal plates might increase infection risk.
