External Skeletal Fixation: Frames, Forces & Failures
In this BoardsCast episode, we bring structure to the world of external skeletal fixation — exploring how frame design, fixation forces, and biological constraints determine outcomes in fracture repair. Whether you're pinning a toy dog radius or managing a segmental tibial gap, knowing how to build (and when to remove) an ESF makes or breaks the result.
You’ll learn:
- The four core ESF frame types and when to use each
- How pin size, number, and placement affect stiffness and strain
- Differences between linear, circular, and hybrid constructs
- Why most failures come from overloading or under-thinking the frame
- Best practices for postop care, frame removal, and avoiding complications
- Case-based planning strategies for the boards and beyond
From fixation theory to pin-site infection, this episode gives you a blueprint to build it right the first time.
