| Popis: | Needless to say, the most important problem in open fracture is infection.When the laceration of skin or muscle is severe, and when the fracture is comminuted, we often have to use external fixation method.Before 1985, we used plaster cast or external fixation using methyl methacrylate. But, since 1985, we have used dynamic axial fixator (D. A. F.).It is easy to put it on a patiant. Little discomfort has been complained by the patiants.However, there was a case of re-fracture after removal, of D. A. F.. Accordingly, we studied advantage and disadvantage of D. A. F. and the time of its removal, comparing with the method using methyl methacrylate. |
