External fixation is now being used widely to maintain fractures,
osteo tomies, and arthrodeses in a desired position during
consolidation. Whereas external fixation has been readily accepted
in European countries, its use has weathered a rather stormy course
in North America, especially in the treatment of fractures. Only
recently has external fixation found its rightful place on this
continent as well. Many different models are on the market today,
and the practitioner is faced with a difficult decision in
selecting a model. Should he buy a system where the fracture has to
be reduced first, or should he work with a device permitting a
reduction after insertion of the pins? To enable surgeons to study
the different systems, to discuss their advantages and
disadvantages, and to permit them to put their hands on these
devices and inspect them personally, the Division of Orthopedic
Surgery, University of Ottawa organized an applied basic science
course in May 1981, External Fixation of Fractures. During this
course, all major systems were pre sented to the participants. As
happened during the course "Internal Fixation of Fractures" held
two years ago, the rigidity of internal fixation was frequently and
intensively debated. Whereas the rigidity of internal fixation
cannot be altered during the course of healing, the rigidity of
external fixation can be changed. In fact, with progression of
union, rods of increasing elasticity can be used."
