Round External Fixator is for the treatment of non-union or pseudoarthrosis of long bones and correction of bone or soft tissue defects or deformities.
Biological tissue is subjected to slow and continuous extension to produce a certain amount of tension, which can stimulate the regeneration and active growth of tissue.
Pre-assembled hinges, angular distractors, and other functional components which are easy to connect, align and operate.
Modular nature allows for the construction of individual frames; hinges provide a free combination for various deformities.
Indications:
Severe or complex traumatic fractures, such as multiple, comminuted fractures or soft tissue injuries
Partially infected fractures, such as acute chronic focal infection (osteomyelitis)
Nonunion, defect, pathological resection of large segment of bone
Congenital tibiofibula false joint
Bone deformities: healing after trauma, congenital deformities (angular, limb shortening, syndactylia)
Joint diseases: deformity, contracture, spasticity, dislocation, dysplasia and degeneration
Limb extension and reconstruction: limb discrepancy, limb lengthening
Deformity of foot and ankle: talipes equinovarus, talipes cavus, cerebral palsy foot drop
Treatment with distraction osteogenesis : regeneration of skin, muscles, tendons, blood vessels and nerves; Chronic ischemic vascular diseases, such as obliterans, diabetes
Other adjuvant treatments, eg. dislocation treatment is performed before artificial joint replacement
