    The novel monofixateur system offers versatile external skeletal fixation, enabling both static and dynamic bone stabilization. This adaptable device simplifies treatment for various bone conditions, promoting effective healing with minimal intervention.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Biomechanical engineering

    Context:

    • External skeletal fixation is crucial for treating complex fractures and bone deformities.
    • Existing methods often involve complex procedures and multiple components.
    • The need for adaptable fixation systems that can switch between static and dynamic modes is recognized.

    Purpose:

    • To introduce and evaluate the monofixateur, a novel external skeletal fixation system.
    • To demonstrate its adaptability for both static and dynamic fixation.
    • To highlight its biomechanical advantages and ease of use.

    Summary:

    • The monofixateur system, building on Lambotte's principles, offers effective external fixation with minimal mechanical and operative requirements.
    • Its key innovation is the dual-application feature, allowing seamless transition between static and dynamic fixation.

  • Dynamic fixation is achieved by omitting clamping jaws on one fragment, enabling axial compression via muscle action while preventing bending and rotation, thereby enhancing bone healing.

    • Impact:

    • The monofixateur is indicated for a wide range of conditions including closed, open, and infected fractures, pseudarthrosis, osteotomies, arthrodesis, and joint transfixations.
    • Advantages include a simple design, high stability with few components, biomechanically favorable unilateral assembly, and reduced patient impairment.
    • This system represents a significant advancement in external fixation, offering precise function and adaptability for improved patient outcomes.
