title: Taylor Spatial Frame application with the aid of a fine wire half frame.
abstract: The Taylor Spatial Frame has become an important part of the trauma and reconstruction surgeon's armamentarium. We describe a technique to assist in the application of this device that does not hinder the use of the image intensifier or rely on an assistant to hold a constant position and aids provisional fracture reduction.
