The current and effective use of the dynamic axial fixator in the treatment of exposed fractures of the leg.
The authors observed rapid, practical, effective, and excellent tolerance in the use of the Orthofix dynamic axial fixator in the treatment of leg fractures. Good, stable reduction performed in an emergency situation, with respect for tissues that had been exposed to trauma, with fragments in compression when possible, and correct postsurgical management using early dynamization, are the goals to be attained for the physiological development of the bone callus.
