title: Computer analysis of the spatial arrangement of bone screws and their influence on the stability of the connected bone fragments.
abstract: Authors discuss current trends in research and techniques of external fixation. Using computer software IKAR they performed stimulation evaluating optimization of screw configuration and it's influence on stability of fracture fixation.<br /> Three alimentional screw configuration appeared, more stiff and lead degendent fixator-bone system than linear. Optimal (asymmetric) screw placement was calculated by computer simulation.
