Distal Radius External Fixator
Distal radius fracture is one of the most common fractures encountered by orthopedic doctors, accounting for approximately 1/6 of total body fractures. Mainly occurring in young patients and elderly patients, the former is mainly due to high-energy injuries caused by exercise or transportation, and often combined with cartilage and ligament injuries; The latter, due to the presence of osteoporosis, usually results in fractures due to low-energy injuries, and the severity of the fractures varies.
The advantage is that it can avoid damaging the soft tissue, especially the periosteum, at the fracture end, effectively preventing slow bone growth, even non union, osteonecrosis, and other situations caused by the lack of blood circulation at the fracture end. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for closed reduction and external fixation of some fractures or for some open fractures, where the soft tissue around the fracture is severely damaged, When this situation is not suitable for internal fixation, using an external fixation bracket is the most suitable.
