External fixation devices are medical tools used to stabilize broken bones or support healing after surgery. They consist of metal rods and pins that are placed outside the body and connected to the affected area. This method allows for proper alignment of the bones while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. These devices are often used in cases of complex fractures, limb lengthening, or when internal fixation is not possible. The external fixation system can be adjusted easily, making it a versatile option for orthopedic surgeons. Regular monitoring and care are essential to prevent infection and ensure effective healing.
