Description
The purpose of this frame is to achieve a closed reduction through ligamentotaxis and maintain it until the soft tissue injury can resolve. The frame is recommended in conjunction with a two-stage treatment protocol for extra- and intra-articular fractures of the distal tibia with soft tissue injury - closed or open - . The recommended protocol includes immediate open reduction and internal fixation - ORIF - of the fractured fibula, then application of the spanning external fixator in order to maintain tibial reduction, followed by delayed ORIF of the tibia.
Additional benefit is provided by the latest clamps, which are also magnetic resonance safe. Patients with External Fixators can be reliably diagnosed in magnetic resonance tomograms.
For larger patients, or when high weight bearing is expected, additional stability can be achieved by adding a carbon fiber rod between the most distal and the most proximal Schanz screw.
