The Concept of Dynamization

Stability does not mean rigidity. 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.

When a bone breaks, all the systems work for the bone healing. Fracture healing is a natural, physiological process, and the surgeon may help nature to restore the biological, structural and mechanical properties of the bone as they were before the break, transforming the fracture into a healed, normal and straight bone.
