What size external fixation system is used to construct a pelvic external fixator in an adult patient?

What size external fixation system is used to construct a pelvic external fixator in an adult patient?

The Large External Fixator (rod diameter: 11 mm) is particu- larly suitable for treating the lower extremities. The Medium External Fixator (rod diameter: 8 mm) is particularly appropri- ate for the extremities of adults, and the upper and lower extrem ities of children and small adults.

What is a Schanz pin used for?

Synthes SELDRILL, Self-tapping, Hydroxyapatite-coated Schanz Screws and Steinmann Pins are intended for use with an external fixation system. Synthes SELDRILL, Self-tapping, Hydroxyapatite-coated Schanz Screws and Steinmann Pins are indicated for use with an external fixation system.

What is a modular external fixator?

The modular external fixator may be used for temporary or definitive stabilization. It is rapidly applied without need for intraoperative x-rays and can be adjusted later. The fixator consists of two partial frames (a, b), one on each main fracture fragment.

What is a Steinmann pin used for?

Steinman pins are used for skeletal traction of femoral fractures. The pin is inserted into the proximal tibia; a stirrup is attached and the desired traction applied.

What is radial preload?

To prevent external fixator pin loosening, the contact zone (interface) between the implant and bone can be preloaded, i.e. a static compressive force is applied. Hitherto, preloading was achieved by applying a permanent bending moment to the pins, within their elastic range.

What materials are used for the LCP distal radius system?

What are the treatment options for distal radius fractures?

J Bone Joint Surg[Br] 78 (4): 588–592. 1996. VA-LCP two-column volar distal radius plate allows both fixation and buttressing of the two columns of the distal radius. The treatment of distal radius fractures requires a meticulous reconstruction of the joint surface, as well as stable internal fixation and early functional postoperative treatment.

What is a distal radius plate used for?
