Currently one crucial matter is to understand the biomechanical, biological and physiological effects of dynamization on the bone healing process, in order to show its safety and effectiveness.

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.

He proposed the concept of “dynamization” and developed a modular external fixation device designed to allow the release of axial forces at the proper time during the healing process, thus transferring a progressive load to the fracture site. After this first device, other devices were developed by Orthofix to better satisfy patients’ and doctors’ needs.

Medical philosophy has evolved from the aim to eliminate micromotion between the bony fragments to the idea of controlling it. Micromotion is necessary for external callus formation, and therefore for a functional bone healing. External fixation offers the opportunity to control both micromovement and load at the fracture site, which corresponds to the concept of dynamization.
