1. It can quickly provide good external fixation for fractures, assist in treatment and surgical external fixation. External fixation can quickly fix fractures, which is conducive to reducing pain, minimizing blood loss and facilitating the movement of patients for necessary examinations or immediate surgery to control life-threatening related injuries.
2. It is convenient to observe and treat wounds without interfering with the reduction and fixation of fractures. For patients with fracture defects, open autogenous cancellous bone grafting can be performed after wound infection is controlled.
3. The stiffness of the orthosis in external fixation of fractures is adjustable and can be adjusted as the fracture heals.
4. Modern external fixation is flexible in bone rotation, and can apply axial compression or provide lateral force fixation between the fracture ends according to the type of fracture, and traction can maintain the length of the injured limb.
5. Early movement of the joints above and below the fracture is possible, with less stress shielding, which is conducive to fracture healing.
6. Orthosis used in external fixation is particularly suitable for the treatment of infectious fractures and infectious non-unions.
7. Orthosis used in external fixation is convenient for elevating the injured limb, which is conducive to improving blood circulation and avoiding compression of the posterior tissues of the limb. This is particularly important when fractures are combined with limb burns or extensive skin stripping injuries.
8. It is easy to wear and remove.
