External fixator

An external fixator is a medical device used to stabilize broken bones from the outside of the body. It consists of metal rods and pins that are inserted into the bone through the skin, with the rods connected outside the limb. This setup allows for proper alignment and support of the bones while they heal without needing to perform major surgery. External fixators are often used in complex fractures or when the surrounding tissues are injured, making them a valuable option for facilitating healing in a less invasive way.
