  • Title: Biomechanics of the Ilizarov external fixator.
    Author: Kummer FJ.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1992 Jul; (280):11-4. PubMed ID: 1611730.
    Abstract:
    The Ilizarov external fixator exhibits more isotropic mechanical properties in bending and nonlinear axial stiffness than do unilateral and bilateral external fixators. Each frame element--wire size, tension, and orientation, as well as ring type--contributes to overall frame rigidity and stability. These factors and the specific clinical situation must be considered for the successful application of the Ilizarov fixator.
