Abstract:
External fixation in arthrodesis of the midfoot offers a versatile alternative when internal fixation is contraindicated or impossible. Most often, the small wire fixator, such as the Ilizarov device, provides the stability that is necessary to achieve solid union. External fixation allows for continual compression and the ability to produce gradual deformity correction, if necessary.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
