The treatment of fractures with a dynamic axial fixator
Open accessAbstract
The results obtained with a lightweight dynamic axial fixator in the treatment of fractures are reported. The apparatus comprises a single bar with articulating ends which clamp self-tapping screws and can be locked at an angle appropriate for axial alignment. A telescopic facility allows ready conversion from rigid to dynamic fixation once periosteal callus formation has commenced. Reduction and controlled distraction or compression are achieved by means of a detachable compressor unit. We treated 288 patients with fresh fractures and 50 with ununited fractures. The success rate for fresh fractures was 94%, with average healing times ranging from 3.4 to 6.5 months. In ununited fractures also, the success rate was 94% with average healing times ranging from 4.7 to 6.5 months. Complications were minimal. The device is versatile and can be applied in an average of 15 minutes. It permits ambulatory fracture care without sacrificing a sound anatomical result.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
