3C45

Diaphyseal deformity in a short tibia.

(a) 53000 fixator in place with Micrometric Swivelling Clamp distally; osteotomies: proximal for lengthening, distal for correction.

(b) Distal: initial lengthening to stretch soft tissues slowly. Acute shortening and angular correction by callus manipulation. Proximal: lengthening by callotasis after normal waiting period.

Caution: Resect at least 1 cm of fibula; distal syndesmosis screw.
Peroneal nerve: no acute correction of valgus deformity.

Post-Operative Management of Deformity Correction Surgery with External Fixation

2023-11-09

The successful outcome of a deformity correction with external fixation surgery relies also on a meticulous post-operative management approach. It is critical to optimal healing and the restoration of functionality. Wound care, pain control, rehabilitation exercises, monitoring of complications, and regular follow-ups are integral to a faster recovery.[1]

Weight Bearing and Dynamization

2021-11-17

Weigh bearing is considered a significant clinical issue particularly when an external fixator has been applied to a lower limb. If mechanical stability is in fact a mandatory condition for promoting fracture healing, other key components for a full recovery of the bone are early weight bearing and dynamization.
