Biomechanical study of a low-cost external fixator for diaphyseal fractures of long bones

BACKGROUND: External fixation improves open fracture management in emerging countries. However, sophisticated models are often expensive and unavailable. We assessed the biomechanical properties of a low-cost external fixation system in comparison with the Hoffmann® 3 system, as a reference. METHODS...
