Abstract:
Hybrid thin wire external fixation is an effective, minimally invasive treatment for the stabilization of periarticular, supracondylar, and pilon fractures. The extent of bone and soft-tissue loss, high risk of infection, and further damage to the soft tissues precludes open reduction and internal fixation as a safe treatment method. External fixation preserves the soft-tissue envelope with minimal damage and allows fracture stabilization, early loading, and mobilization, which promote bone healing.
