Summary
Improving external fixation osteosynthesis using electromechanical principles enhances bone healing. This method significantly reduces treatment duration and complications for open comminuted fractures.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic surgery
- Biomedical engineering
Context:
- Open comminuted fractures of the crus present complex treatment challenges.
- Current osteosynthesis methods may lead to prolonged healing and complications.
Purpose:
- To optimize external fixation osteosynthesis using electromechanical principles.
- To determine optimal fixation rigidity for restoring bone elasticity and strength.
Summary:
- The study utilized animal experiments, cadaveric studies, and clinical observations.
- Electromechanical principles guided the improvement of perosseous external fixation devices.
- Optimal rigidity parameters were identified for enhanced bone healing.
Impact:
- Dampered external osteosynthesis reduced inpatient treatment and fracture consolidation periods by 27-34.5%.
- Complication and unsatisfactory outcome rates decreased by 75% with the improved method.
