Abstract:
Objective To remedy the general defects of external fixator such as poor stability,complexed operation,strong stress shielding and bad extension function. Methods A total of 102 patients with limb shaft fracture were treated with the self-made external fixation and the curative effect observed. There were 84 males and 18 females aged at 5-78 years. Of all, 76 cases had tibial and fibular fractures, 10 femoral shaft fractures (children), 4 intertrochanteric or subtrochanteric fractures, 7 ulnar or radial fractures and 5 humeral shaft fractures. Results All patients got good results through a all-course observation, among which 76 cases with tibial and fibular fractures were followed up for 3 months to one year. Furthermore, the mean substantial bone healing time was only 3.5 months. The joint functions of the knee and the ankle recovered synchronously, with an overall excellence rate of 93.4%. No displacement of the fractured part or further fracture occurred. Conclusions The structure and function of the self-made external fixation accord with the demanding of current external fixator in orthopaedics.
