Design and composition of PEEK ankle fixator external
The PEEK External Fixator can be fixed to the bone by pins or screws, making a small incision through which they are inserted and then it can be externally attached by clips and rods to build an external frame The External Fixator can also be recommended in terms of pin size, number and position which would add on to the stiffness and stability of the External Fixator but would reduce complication such as infection or injury to the anatomy.
The PEEK External Fixator, on the other hand, was designed with several biomechanical factors to suit into consideration; which included pin stiffness, configuration of the external fixator foot & ankle and the connecting clips for better mechanical stability besides promoting fracture healing.
mechanism of action
- The PEEK tibia external fixator is primarily used for fractures or dislocations resulting from motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, falls and other physical trauma, and serves to stabilize severe trauma to the ankle and foot, keeping the bones in alignment while treating the soft tissues, in which the PEEK external fixator is used by inserting pins or screws into various critical points of the bone, which are then attached externally with rods to form a rigid frame.
- The PEEK external fixator is accomplished by inserting pins or screws into key points of the bone, which are then attached externally with rods to form a rigid frame.
- The configuration, placement and material of the peek external fixator foot are essential to ensure proper alignment and stabilization of the affected joints, especially the ankle bone, while preventing disruption of muscle, tendon and neurovascular structures.
- Optimal placement of the foot is essential to avoid damage to anatomical structures and minimize the risk of infection.
- Clinical experience and biomechanical analyses have shown that increasing the diameter and distance between the wires or pins, adjusting the tension of the wires, and positioning the cross angles of the wires can enhance frame stability and promote effective fracture healing.
- The primary purpose of the peek external fixation ankle is to realign the injured joint and maintain the position until definitive surgery can be performed. This method has been shown to be superior to splinting for initial soft tissue recovery after distal tibial and ankle trauma.
- The peek external fixator for tibia allows for ideal compression, extension, or neutralization of the bone while allowing for motion of the adjacent joints, ensuring proper healing of the affected area and promoting normal bone growth.
- In addition, surgeons can avoid fixating the peek external fixator in infected areas such as fractures.
