Surgical Adjustment of External Fixation Device

The provider adjusts an external fixation system while the patient is under anesthesia. Skeletal fixation devices, such as an external fixation, or ex fit, system, a fixation device that is placed inside of bones, and the device itself remains outside of the body, are used to join two skeletal parts and maintain their normal alignment while helping in faster healing. Postoperative adjustment or revision of the external fixation component may be required to treat postoperative complications, improper healing of fractured bone, or mechanical failure or malfunctioning of the fixator device.
