Experience with the Sukhtian--Hughes external fixation system.
External fixation of fractures is now used frequently in orthopaedics. This paper reviews the results of 30 fractures treated by a single bar system, the Sukhtian-Hughes, over a period of 4 years. The results are encouraging, particularly in compound tibial fractures and in patients with non-union of fractures.
