elbow external fixation
Elbow external fixation is a surgical technique used to stabilize fractures and complex injuries around the elbow joint. The main functions of this procedure are to maintain alignment and stabilize the bones while they heal, preventing further injury and promoting recovery. Technological features include a durable, modular frame that can be customized to the patient's anatomy and injury, with pins or screws that are inserted into the bone on either side of the fracture. The external frame then holds these pins in place, allowing for precise control over the healing process. Applications of elbow external fixation are varied, from high-energy trauma and complex fractures to corrective osteotomies and joint realignment procedures.
