Circular external fixator

A circular external fixator is a medical device used to stabilize and support broken or damaged bones externally. It consists of rings connected by adjustable rods, which are attached around the limb using fine wires or pins that pass through the skin into the bone. The device allows precise control of bone alignment during healing, often used for complex fractures or deformities. Because it remains outside the body, it enables early mobility and gradual adjustment of the bone's position, promoting effective healing while minimizing invasive procedures.
