  • Title: Circular External Fixation of Ankle and Pilon Fractures Using Novel Polyaxial Locking Struts.
    Author: Bashir A, Satalich JR, Hampton H, Cinats DJ.
    Journal: J Long Term Eff Med Implants; 2024; 34(1):65-69. PubMed ID: 37938207.
    Abstract:
    Ankle fractures and pilon fractures are common injuries and can range in severity from low-energy rotational injuries to high-energy fractures of the articular surface. External fixation can be used in a staged treatment strategy to allow for a closed reduction and soft tissue rest before definitive internal fixation or as a definitive treatment method. We describe a technique that involves the use of novel polyaxial locking struts in conjunction with circular external fixation that can be used as a temporary form of external fixation or as definitive treatment of high-energy ankle and pilon fractures.
