external fixators การใช้

• Adam Frame has pioneered the new generation of Circular External Fixators while remaining faithful to Ilizarov s principles.
• With the help of the local bicycle shop he devised ring external fixators tensioned like the spokes of a bicycle.
• The Ilizarov external fixators can be used to correct angular deformity in the leg, to correct leg-length differences, and treat non-unions.
• The previous difficulties in taking manual measurements when using both 1st and the 2nd Generation External Fixators are resolved by using the 3rd Generation Circular External Fixator.
• With the octopod method the device can reach a wider correction range, thereby solving a major problem of the 2nd Generation Circular External Fixators, that of having to frequently change struts.
