Features:
- 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
Instrumentation:
- Round External Fixator Instrument Set
