Unilateral multifunctional external fixation apparatus for patients with unstable fractures of the tibia and fibula

Objective To evaluate the results of unilateral multifunctional external fixation apparatus for patients with unstable fractures of the tibia and fibula.Methods Fortytwo patients with unstable fractures of the tibia and fibula were treated by the unilateral multifunctional external fixation apparatus.Results Complete healing of fractures of all patients was seen within an average of 6.2 months;the function of suffering limbs was satisfactory and the rate of infection of pin tract was 12%.Conclusion The unilateral multifunctional external fixation apparatus can maintain the normal limb length and allow dynamic compression by sliding in ordinate axial direction.It can be easily applied in various directions to correct the displacement with two articulated ball joints.The patients can be permitted to exercise early.Unilateral multifunctional external fixation apparatus is a satisfactory method for the treatment of unstable fractures of the tibia and fibula.
