Abstract:
In order to investingate the stability of the half-ring sulcated external fixator,it was used to fix the bone after artificial fracture of the tibia shaft and tibia lengthening with proximal metaphyseal osteotomy were performed on 20 and 22 goats respectively.After operation,the animals were allowed to roam about freely,walking or jumping.In the fracture group,radigraphy of the tibia shaft,strength determination of the limb,and histological study of the fractured site were performed at the end of the 6th week.And in the lengthening group,x-ray examination and histological study were done after the 10th week.All the findings indicate that the external fixator designed in our department is well qualified to meet the requirement for the fixation of fractrued bones and the lengthened bones as well.
