Distal tibial articular fracture stabilized using the Sheffield Ring Fixator with rings connected by Threaded Bars. One wire-bearing ring for the distal fracture and one ring with the Sheffield Clamp for the diaphyseal screws.

In severe pilon fractures, a foot ring can be added with hinges to stabilize the ankle joint and mobilize it when possible.

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.
