Abstract

External fixation is the treatment of choice for various peri-articular, supracondylar, and pilon fractures. The hybrid thin wire external fixator is modular, minimally invasive device that provides stabilization, reduces the risk of infection, and allows early loading and mobilization, which are crucial for bone healing.
