History of External Fixation

The external fixation device invented by Lambotte in 1902 is generally thought to be the first “real fixator”. In America it was Clayton Parkhill, in 1897, with his “bone clamp” who started the process. Both Parkhill and Lambotte observed that metal pins inserted into bone were tolerated extremely well by the body.

External fixators are often used in severe traumatic injuries as they allow for rapid stabilization while allowing access to soft tissues that may also need treating. This is particularly important when there is significant damage to skin, muscle, nerves, or blood vessels.

An external fixation device may be used to keep fractured bones stabilized and in alignment. The device can be adjusted externally to ensure the bones remain in an optimal position during the healing process. This device is commonly used in children and when the skin over the fracture has been damaged.
