Living in Harmony with Your Circular External Fixator: A Patient's Guide
Welcome to this guide! If you have recently undergone circular external fixation surgery, this material will help you understand how to live with this special "external companion" until your bones are fully healed.
1. Getting to Know Your Fixator
Your fixator may look somewhat complicated, but we can think of it as:
Rings/Half-Rings: Metal rings surrounding your limb like a satellite, serving as the main structural support.
Thin Wires: Slender yet sufficiently tensioned wires that pass through the bone to provide stability.
Connecting Rods: Struts that connect the rings, adjustable in length as needed (used for limb lengthening or deformity correction).
It is not just a tool, but a temporary companion on your path to recovery.
