External Fixator

An external fixator is a medical device used to stabilize and support fractured bones or to correct bone deformities. It is placed outside the body and connected to the bone using pins or wires that pass through the skin and bone.

External fixators are commonly used in orthopedic and trauma surgeries to maintain proper alignment during the healing process. They allow for adjustable and precise control of bone positioning, and are often used in cases of complex fractures, limb lengthening, or bone reconstruction.
