tibial plateau external fixator
The tibial plateau external fixator is a sophisticated orthopedic device designed to stabilize fractures in the tibial plateau, a critical weight-bearing area of the knee. Its main functions include immobilizing the fracture, reducing pain, and facilitating proper alignment of the bones for healing. Technological features include a modular frame that can be customized to the patient's anatomy and injury, along with distractable rods that allow for the adjustment of bone alignment. This device is applied in cases where internal fixation is not feasible, such as complex fractures or those accompanied by severe soft tissue injuries. The tibial plateau external fixator supports the healing process and reduces the risk of complications, making it an essential tool in orthopedic trauma care.
