Temporary external fixation has been widely utilized in the stabilization of plateau fractures while waiting for an optimization of the soft tissue conditions before subsequent permanent internal fixation. Simultaneously, MRI is beneficial in the assessment of concomitant damage to ligaments and menisci so that these injuries could be promptly identified, and surgical planning executed at the time of definitive fixation of the bony injury. Increasing numbers of sidebars and pins have been previously suggested to increase frame rigidity but, at the same time, several studies have indicated the presence of MRI artifacts which may obscure key anatomical structures, even when MRI-compatible fixation devices are used. This study aims to identify, among six potential configurations, the construct that maximizes stability while most minimizing the number of MRI artifacts generated among different configurations commonly used. |
