The use of twin-ring Ilizarov external fixator constructs: application and biomechanical proof-of principle with possible clinical indications

BACKGROUND: In peri- or intra-articular fractures of the tibia or femur, the presence of short metaphyseal bone fragments may make the application of an Ilizarov external fixator (IEF) challenging.
