A common answer is “when the patient is compliant, with sufficient bone and soft tissue quality, and presents less complex fractures”. Surgeon’s expertise and preference may also affect the final surgical plan.

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.

Dealing With Pin Site Problems

To prevent and manage pin site problems, the patient should be clearly informed of the protocol he/she needs to follow for pin site care in the post-operative phase. And not only the patient, but all people involved in the healing process outside the hospital should know the protocol.
