These come in various shapes, sizes and have classifications accordingly. The 6 generations of external fixation are as follows: Unilateral Uniplanar frames Ring fixator Articulated… Continue reading External fixation: 6 generations you must know

The Taylor spatial frame or simply spatial frame is a type of external fixation. To be precise, it is a fifth generation external fixator. 1. Indications of Taylor spatial frame External fixation Malunion; non-union Congenital deformities 2. Description of device Hexapod device Two or more aluminium or carbon fiber rings connected by six struts. Connected… Continue reading Taylor spatial Frame (TSF): 10 points
