This study introduces a cost-effective hybrid external fixator for complex tibial fractures. The novel frame, built from existing components, offers a versatile and affordable alternative for orthopedic trauma treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Hybrid external fixators with limited internal fixation are increasingly used for complex intraarticular tibia fractures.
  • Existing commercial hybrid external fixation systems are often costly and not universally accessible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel, simple, and cost-effective hybrid external fixation frame.
  • To demonstrate the construction of this frame using readily available components.

Main Methods:

  • The hybrid frame was constructed using components from AO tubular and Ilizarov external fixator sets.
  • A modified AO single adjustable clamp was utilized in the frame design.

Main Results:
